G  

                               C
As the Maid poured wine and we began 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
I appreciate you hospitality  
      G                  D
But I wish that we would go  
       G                              C
Let me drive us to McDonalds and I'll talk to you  
           D                           G
Concerning something you should really know  
  
I'm just a common man  
        C
Drive a common van  
   G                   D
My dog ain't got a pedigree  
     G
If I have my say  
      C
Gonna stay that way  
      G                       Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanity  
      G
And a common man is what I'll be  
                           C
I'll take a Chevrolet just anyday  
             D                       G
So give your Daddy back his Mercedes Benz  
                                 C
And there's some common people I hang out with  
           D                              G
They're 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 living world behind  
  
Chorus  
        C                Am
Yes I'm happy just being free  
        C                Am
And I'm happy just being me  
      C                  D
And I hope that you will see  
  
Chorus
