Welcome John Connolly!
[D]
Oh, Tuckiana!
[G] [D]
[G]
As the maid poured wine in [C] me prepared to die
[D] I knew I was feeling [G] mountain-flake
At a table as large [C] as a river bar
[D] And I love you written all on [G] your face
[C] I appreciate your hospitality
[G] But I wish that we would [D] go
[G] Let me drive us to McDonald's [C] and I'll talk to you
[D] Concerning something you should [G] really know
I'm just a common man, [C] drive a common van
[G] My darling got a pedigree
[D] [E]
[G] If I have my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way
[G] Cause high-brow people [Em] lose their sanity
[G] And a [D] common man is what I'll be
[G] I'll [D] [G]
be back several days, [C] just any day
So [D] give your daddy back his Mercedes [G]-Benz
[D] And [G] 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 Naga-Maga Budweiser beer
Than [G] sip a crystal glass of [D] wine
So [G] won't you make your mind up [C] to believe in me
And [D] leave this high-living world [G] behind
I'm just a common man, drive a common [C] van
[G] My darling got a pedigree
[D] [G] If I have [D] my say, it's [C] gonna stay that way
[G] Cause high-brow people [Em] lose their sanity
[G] And a [D] common man is [G] what I'll be
[Am] And I'm happy just [Em] being free
[Am] And I'm happy just [Em] being me
[Am] And I hope that you [D] will see
[Bm] [D] I'm [G] just a common man, [C] drive a common van
