G+G
Living on free food tickets, water in the milk
FF
from the hole in the roof where the rain came
C majorC D MajorD
through..what can you do?..mmm-hmmm-hmmm.
G+G
Tears from your little sister, crying cause she
FF
doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party
C majorC D MajorD
to go..oh, but you know, she'll get by.
CHORUS:
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Because she's living in the love of the common people.
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Smiles from the heart of the family man.
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to.
G+G C majorC D MajorD
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, and
G+G
she can.

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare, it would
fall through the hole in your pocket and you'll lose
G+G D MajorD
it in the snow on the ground..walk into town to find

a job.
A augmentedA
Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your
G+G
shoe let the snow come through and it chills you to
D MajorD E MajorE
the bone..boy, you better go home where it's warm.
CHORUS:
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
Where you can live in the love of the common people.
A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE
Smiles from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to.

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and
A augmentedA
she can.
