Love of the common people-John Denver chords
Start Jamming...
Living on free food tickets, water [E] and the [A] milk from the hole in the roof [G] where the rain came through.
What can [D] we do?
[E]
[A] Tears from your baby sister crying cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch [G] for the party to go.
Oh [D] but you know [E] she'll get by because [A] she's living in the love [D] of the common [C#m] people.
[A] Smiles from the heart [D] of a family [E] man.
[A] Daddy's gonna buy [D] you a [E] dream to cling [A] to.
Mommy's gonna love you [D] just as much [E] as she can.
[G]
[A] It's a good thing you don't have bus fare.
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it in the [A] snow on the [G] ground.
[D] Walking to town to find [E] a job [A] trying to keep your hands warm.
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through [G] and it chills to the bone.
Boy you better [D] go home where [E] it's warm and you [A] can live in the love [D] of the common people.
[A] Smiles from the [D] heart of a [E] family [A] man.
Daddy's gonna buy [D] you a [E] dream to cling [A] to.
Mommy's gonna love you [D] just as much [E] as she can.
[A]
[B]
Living on a dream ain't easy but the closer the nip, the tighter the fit [A] and the chills stay away.
You take [E] them in stride and [F#] a little bit proud.
[B]
Faith is your foundation with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation [A]
and many [D] a prayer.
[F#m] Making [E] you strong where you [F#] belong.
[B]
[E] [F#] [B]
Smiles from the [E] heart of a [F#] family man.
[B]
Daddy's gonna buy [E] you a [F#] dream to cling [B] to.
Mommy's gonna love you [E] just as [F#] much as she can.
