Love Of The Common People by Nicky Thomas ...LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE... by Nicky Thomas -------------------------------................ *Released 1970* Intro: G C, G Verse 1: G Living on free food tickets, Water in the milk from a hole in the roof, F C D Where the rain came through; what can you do? G Tears from your little sister, Crying 'cos she doesn't have a dress without a patch, F C D For the party to go, but you know, she'll get by. Chorus 1: G C 'Cos she's living in the love of the common people; G D Smile's from the heart of a family man. G C Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, G D G Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can. Interlude: G Verse 2: G It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare; It would fall through the hole in your pocket, F And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground; C D You got to walk into town, to find a job. G Tryin' to keep your hands warm, When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru', F And chills you to the bone. C D So now you'd better go home, where it's warm. Chorus 2: G C 'Cos she's living in the love of the common people; G D Smile's from the heart of a family man. G C Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, G D G Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can. *KEY CHANGE* ------------ G# C#, G# (x2) Verse 3: G# Living on a dream ain't easy, But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit, F# And the chills stay away; C# D# You take 'em in stride, for family pride.
