Common Sense John Prine
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
[G] [C] [D] [G]
[G]You can't live together
You can't live [C]alone
[D]Considering the weather
Oh my, how you've [G]grown
[G]
To the wild kanga[C]roo
Like those [D]birds of a feather
They're gathering together
And feeling exactly like [G]you
Chorus:
They got [G]mesmerized by lullabies
And limbo danced in [C]pairs
Please lock that [D]door
It don't make much sense
That common sense
Don't make no sense no [G]more
[C]Just between [D]you and [G]me
It's [C]like [G]pulling
When you [D]ought to be [G]shovin,
[C]Like a [G]nun with her [D]head in the [G]oven
[C]Please don't [G]tell me
That this [D]really wasn't [G]nothing
(Repeat Intro)
[G]One of these days
One of these [C]nights
[D]You'll take off your hat
And they'll read you
Your [G]rights
[G]You'll wanna get high
Every time you feel [C]low
[D]Hey, Queen Isabella
Stay away from that fella
He'll just get you
Into trouble, you [G]know?
[G]But they came here by boat
And they came here by [C]plane
[D]They blistered their hands
And they burned out their [G]brain
[G]All dreaming a dream
That'll never come [C]true
Hey, don't [D]give me no trouble
Or I'll call up my double
We'll play piggy-in-the-middle
With [G]you
(Repeat Chorus)
