Nicky Thomas, Love Of The Common People (1970)
^{Key: :[G#] (w: John Hurley, Ronnie Wilkins)}

VERSE 1:
[G#] Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the [F#] rain came through
What can you [C#] do [D#]

VERSE 2:
[G#] Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the [F#] party to go
Oh but you [C#] know, she'll get [D#] by

CHORUS:
She is [G#] living in the love of the [C#] common people
[G#] Smiles from the heart of a [D#] family man
[G#] Daddy's gonna buy her a [C#] dream to cling to
[G#] Mamma's gonna love her just as [D#] much as she can, [D#] as she [G#] can

VERSE 3:
[G#] It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
I would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the [F#] snow on the ground
A walkin' to [C#] town to find a [D#] job

VERSE 4:
[G#] Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the [F#] chills to the bone
Oh, you better go [C#] home where it's [D#] warm

CHORUS:
[D#] Where you can [G#] live in the love of the [C#] common people
[G#] Smiles from the heart of a [D#] family man
[G#] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C#] dream to cling to
[G#] Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she [D#] can, as she [G#] can
