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

VERSE 5:
[A] Living on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the
[G] chills stay away
You take them in
[D] stride, family
[E] pride
VERSE 6:
[E] You know that
[A] faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
But
[G] don't forget to pray
Making you
[D] strong, where you be-
[E]-long
CHORUS:
