COMMON MAN
John Conlee
Writers : Sammy Johns



As the (G) maid poured wine and we (C) prepared to dine
I (D) knew I was feeling out of (G) place
At a table as large as a (C) river barge
And I (D) love you written all on your (G) face
Now, I ap(C)preciate your hospitality
But, I (G) wish that we would (D) go
Let me (G) drive us to McDonald's and I'll (C) talk to you
Concerning (D) something you should really (G) know

I'm just a (G) common man
Drive a (C) common van
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree
If I (G) had my say
Gonna (C) stay that way
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be

I'll take a (G) Chevrolet just (C) any day
Give your (D) daddy back his Mercedes (G) Benz
And ther's some common people that I (C) hang out with
Their my (D) good time buddies, they're my (G) friends
And I'd (C) rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer
Than sip a (G) crystal glass of (D) wine
So won't you (G) make your mind up to (C) believe in me
And leave this (D) high livin' world be(G)hind

I'm just a (G) common man
Drive a (C) common van
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree
If I (G) had my say
Gonna (C) stay that way
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be

Yes, I'm (Am) happy just being (Em) free
And (Am) happy just being (Em) me
And I (Am) hope that you will (D7) see

I'm just a (G) common man
Drive a (C) common van
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree
If I (G) had my say
Gonna (C) stay that way
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be
