As the maid poured wine and we prepared 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
Now, I appreciate your hospitality 
       G5                  D5
But, I wish that we would go 
       G5                               C5
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you 
           D5                           G5
Concerning something you should really know 
           G5
I'm just a common man 
        C5
Drive a common van 
   G5                   D5
My dog ain't got a pedigree 
     G5
If I had my say 
      C5
Gonna stay that way 
      G5                       D5       E5
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
      G5      D5                G5
And a common man is what I'll be 
            G5              C5
I'll take a Chevrolet just any day 
          D5                       G5
Give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz 
                                     C5
And ther's some common people that I hang out with 
         D5                             G5
Their 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 livin' world behind 
           G5
I'm just a common man 
        C5
Drive a common van 
   G5                   D5
My dog ain't got a pedigree 
     G5
If I had my say 
      C5
Gonna stay that way 
      G5                       D5       E5
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
      G5      D5                G5
And a common man is what I'll be 
         A5               E5
Yes, I'm happy just being free 
    A5               E5
And happy just being me 
      A5                 D5
And I hope that you will see 
           G5
I'm just a common man 
        C5
Drive a common van 
   G5                   D5
My dog ain't got a pedigree 
     G5
If I had my say 
      C5
Gonna stay that way 
      G5                       D5       E5
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity 
      G5      D5                G5
And a common man is what I'll be
