Intro:
G C, G
Verse 1:
[G] Living on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof,
Where the [F]rain came through; what can you [C]do?[D]
[G] Tears from your little sister,
Crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress without a patch,
For the [F]party to go, but you know, [C]she'll get [D]by.
Chorus 1:
'Cos she's [G]living in the love of the [C]common people;
[G] Smile's from the heart of a [D]family man.
[G] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to,
[G] Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can.
Interlude:
[G]
Verse 2:
It's a [G]good thing you don't have a bus fare;
It would fall through the hole in your pocket,
And you'd lose it in the [F]snow on the ground;
You got to walk into [C]town, to find a [D]job.
[G] Tryin' to keep your hands warm,
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru',
And [F]chills you to the bone.
So now you'd better go [C]home, where it's [D]warm.
Chorus 2:
'Cos she's [G]living in the love of the [C]common people;
[G] Smile's from the heart of a [D]family man.
[G] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C]dream to cling to,
[G] Mama's gonna love you just as [D]much as she can, and she [G]can.

G# C#, G# (x2)
Verse 3:
[G#] Living on a dream ain't easy,
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit,
And the [F#]chills stay away;
You take 'em in [C#]stride, for family [D#]pride.
You know that [G#]faith is your foundation,
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation,
But, [F#]don't forget to pray;
Just make it [C#]strong, where you be-[D#]long.
Chorus 3:
Where you can [G#]live in a love of the [C#]common people,
[G#] Smile's from the heart of a [D#]family man.
[G#] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C#]dream to cling to,
[G#] Mama's gonna love you just as [D#]much as she can.
Chorus 4:
You can [G#]live in a love of the [C#]common people,
[G#] Smile's from the heart of a [D#]family man.
[G#] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C#]dream to cling to,
[G#] Mama's gonna love you just as [D#]much as she can.
