G5  

                               C5
As the Maid poured wine and we began to dine  
  D5                         G5
I knew I was feeling out of place  
                         C5
At a table as large as a river barge  
    D5                              G5
And I love you written all on your face  
  C5
I appreciate you hospitality  
      G5                  D5
But I wish that we would go  
       G5                              C5
Let me drive us to McDonalds and I'll talk to you  
           D5                           G5
Concerning something you should really know  
  
I'm just a common man  
        C5
Drive a common van  
   G5                   D5
My dog ain't got a pedigree  
     G5
If I have my say  
      C5
Gonna stay that way  
      G5                       E5
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity  
      G5
And a common man is what I'll be  
                           C5
I'll take a Chevrolet just anyday  
             D5                       G5
So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz  
                                 C5
And there's some common people I hang out with  
           D5                              G5
They're my good time buddies - they're my friends  
        C5
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser Beer  
           G5                D5
Than sip a crystal glass of wine  
             G5                    C5
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me  
               D5                   G5
And leave this high living world behind  
  
Chorus  
        C5                A5
Yes I'm happy just being free  
        C5                A5
And I'm happy just being me  
      C5                  D5
And I hope that you will see
