G                       C
As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine 
  D                         G
I knew I was feeling out of place 
                         C
At a table as large as a river barge 
      D                            G
And I love you written all on your face 
         C
Now, I appreciate your hospitality 
       G                  D
But, I wish that we would go 
       G                               C
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you 
           D                           G
Concerning something you should really know 
           G
I'm just a common man 
        C
Drive a common van 
   G                   D
My dog ain't got a pedigree 
     G
If I had my say 
      C
Gonna stay that way 
      G                       D/F#       Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
      G      D                G
And a common man is what I'll be 
            G              C
I'll take a Chevrolet just any day 
          D                       G
Give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz 
                                     C
And ther's some common people that I hang out with 
         D                             G
Their my good time buddies, they're my friends 
        C
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer 
           G                D
Than sip a crystal glass of wine 
             G                    C
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me 
               D                   G
And leave this high livin' world behind 
           G
I'm just a common man 
        C
Drive a common van 
   G                   D

If I had my say 
      C
Gonna stay that way 
      G                       D/F#       Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
      G      D                G
