Common People Chords by The Wurzels

_ _ _ _ _ _ She came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge.
She studied sculpture at St.
Martin's College, [E] that's where I_
Ha ha, call her I.
Ho ho ha.
[A] She told me that her dad was loaded.
I said, in that case, I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola.
She [E] said, fine.
Then, in 30 seconds time, she [A] said,
I wanna live like common people.
I wanna do whatever common people do.
I wanna sleep with common people.
I wanna sleep with common people [E] like you.
Oh, what else could I do?
I said, I'll see what I can [A] do.
Ho ho ha.
I took her to a supermarket.
I don't know why, but I had to start it [E] somewhere.

Rent a flat above a shop.
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smug [E] some fags and play some pool.

Especially the ones who think it's all such a laugh.
Yeah.
