[D] [G] [C] [D]
[G] [C] [D]
[G] As the maid poured wine and [C] we prepared to dine, [Bm] I knew I was feeling [G] out of place
At a table as large [C] as a river bar, [D] and I love you written [G] all on your face
I appreciate your hospitality, but I wish that we [D] would go
[G] Let me drive us to McDonald's [C] and I'll talk to you [D] concerning something you should really [G] know
I'm just a common man, [C] drive a common van, [G] my dog ain't got a [D] pedigree
[G] If I have my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way, [G] those high-pride people [Em] lose their sanity
[G]
And a common [D] man is what I'll be, [G]
[C] [D] [G]
[C] [D] I'll [G] take a Chevrolet [C] just any day
So [D] give your daddy back his [G] Mercedes Benz, and there's some common people [C] that I hang out with
[D] They're my good-time buddies, [G] they're my friends
[C] And I'd rather chug a lugger mug of Budweiser beer than [G] sip a crystal glass [D] of wine
So [G] won't you make your mind up to [C] believe in me, and [D] leave this high-living world [G] behind
I'm just a common man, [C] drive a common van, [G] my dog ain't got a
[D] pedigree
[G] If I have my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way, [G] those high-pride people [Em] lose their sanity
[G] And a common [D] man is [G] what I'll be, [Am] yes I'm happy just being [Em] free
[Am] And I'm happy just [Em] being me, [Am] and I hope that you [D] will see
I'm [G] just a common man, [C] drive a common van, [G] my dog ain't got a [D] pedigree
[G] If I have my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way, [G] those high-pride people [Em] lose their sanity
[G] And a [D] common man is [G] what I'll be,
[C] [D] I'm [G] just a common man, [C] drive a common van, [G] my dog ain't got a
[D] pedigree
If [G] I have my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way, [G] those high-pride people [Em] lose their sanity
