Love Of The Common People

-------------------------------................

[G]  [C]  [G]

[G] Living on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof,
Where the [F]rain came through; what can you [C]do? [D]

[G] Tears from your little sister,
Crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress without a patch,
For the [F]party to go, but you know, [C]she'll get [D]by.

'Cos she's [G]living in the love of the [C]common people;
[G] Smile's from the heart of a [D]family man.
[G] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to,
[G] Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can.

[G]

It's a [G]good thing you don't have a bus fare;
It would fall through the hole in your pocket,
And you'd lose it in the [F]snow on the ground;
You got to walk into [C]town, to find a [D]job.

[G] Tryin' to keep your hands warm,
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through,
And [F]chills you to the bone.
So now you'd better go [C]home, where it's [D]warm.

'Cos she's [G]living in the love of the [C]common people;
[G] Smile's from the heart of a [D]family man.
[G] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to,
[G] Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can.

[Ab]  [C#]  [Ab]

[Ab] Living on a dream ain't easy,
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit,
And the [F#]chills stay away;
You take 'em in [C#]stride, for family [Eb]pride.

You know that [Ab]faith is your foundation,
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation,
But, [F#]don't forget to pray;
Just make it [C#]strong, where you be-[Eb]long.

Where you can [Ab]live in a love of the [C#]common people,
[Ab] Smile's from the heart of a [Eb]family man.
[Ab] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C#]dream to cling to,
[Ab] Mama's gonna love you just as [Eb]much as she can.

You can [Ab]live in a love of the [C#]common people,
[Ab] Smile's from the heart of a [Eb]family man.
[Ab] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C#]dream to cling to,
[Ab] Mama's gonna love you just as [Eb]much as she can.
