[G]
As the maid poured wine and we [C] prepared to dine, [D] I knew I was [G] feeling out of place.
a table as large as [C] a river bar, [D] and I love you written all [G] on your face.
appreciate [G] your [C] hospitality, [G] but I wish that we [D] would go.
me drive us to [C] McDonald's and I'll talk to you concerning [D] something you should [G] really know.
a common man, [C] drive a common van, [G] my dog ain't got a [D] pedigree.
[G] I have my say, [C] gonna stay that way, [G] cause high-pride people [Em] lose their sanity.
[D] common man is what I'll be.
