Chords for Common Man - Reina del Cid (live at the Cedar)

[B] _ _ But this goes out to [E] whoever that [B] might be in your life, that person.
_ _ _ _ _ [E]
Did you read it in a magazine? _
You were [B] sitting on a plane
With _ something [E] about St.
Augustine _
Or the life [B] of Charlemagne
That one king [A] who went _ [B] _ insane
_ [A] You forgot [B] his name
[C#] But you're a really foolish boy and you just soak it all up
[F#] Always getting that away
Did you see [E] it documentary? _ _ _
Can't keep it [B] to yourself
_ _ Now you're an expert [E] in geology _ _
And life in [B] prison cells _ _
What a burden [E] to know everything _ _
But [B] you [D#m] manage it [G#m] so well
That [C#] there's a secret life behind those dull brown eyes
[F#] You never could tell _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ So _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
you [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#] skimmed [E] a little _ Hemingway _
For your senior [B] English class _ _ _
And the specifics [E] sorta slipped away
But you got enough [B] to be an ass _ _ _
Oh, you never [A] had to work [B] that hard
To [A] be a C plus [B] six star
So [C#] that in fifteen years you could talk, find beer
[F#] What a card you are
And [E] have your friends all miss the point somehow _
Working harder [B] than their degrees
I mean, you're [E] basically a doctor now _ _
Because of [B] WebMD
_ _ And when the ivory [E] tower crumbles down _ _
_ [B] No one [F#] will be more [G#m]
pleased
Because [C#] where it used to stand will be the common man
[F#] And his magazine
_ And did you read [E] it in the magazine? _ _
_ _ [B] Ooh, _ _ _ _ something [E] about the Byzantines _
_ _ [B] _ Ooh, _ _ _ you can't [E] remember everything _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#m] _
Ooh, _ _ _ but [C#] you're making your sponge
_ Such [C#m] _ [C#]
a brilliant one
_ _ _ [F#] Always been that way _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [N] _ _ _ _
