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.

Faith is your foundation with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation [A]
