...LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE... by Nicky Thomas
-------------------------------................
*Released 1970*
Intro:
G C, G
Verse 1:
G
Living on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof,
F C D
Where the rain came through; what can you do?
G
Tears from your little sister,
Crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress without a patch,
F C D
For the party to go, but you know, she'll get by.
Chorus 1:
G C
'Cos she's living in the love of the common people;
G D
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
G C
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
G D G
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.
Interlude:
G
Verse 2:
G
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare;
It would fall through the hole in your pocket,
F
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground;
C D
You got to walk into town, to find a job.
G
Tryin' to keep your hands warm,
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through,
F
And chills you to the bone.
C D
So now you'd better go home, where it's warm.
Chorus 2:
G C
'Cos she's living in the love of the common people;
G D
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
G C
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
G D G
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.
*KEY CHANGE*

G# C#, G# (x2)
Verse 3:
G#
Living on a dream ain't easy,
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit,
F#
And the chills stay away;
C# D#
You take 'em in stride, for family pride.
G#
You know that faith is your foundation,
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation,
F#
But, don't forget to pray;
C# D#
Just make it strong, where you be-long.
Chorus 3:
G# C#
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
G# D#
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
G# C#
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
G# D#
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.
Chorus 4:
G# C#
You can live in a love of the common people,
G# D#
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
G# C#
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
G# D#
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can.
