	        As the (G) maid poured wine and we (C) prepared to dine 
I (D) knew I was feeling out of (G) place 
At a table as large as a (C) river barge 
And I (D) love you written all on your (G) face 
Now, I ap(C)preciate your hospitality 
But, I (G) wish that we would (D) go 
Let me (G) drive us to McDonald's and I'll (C) talk to you 
Concerning (D) something you should really (G) know 
 
I'm just a (G) common man 
Drive a (C) common van 
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree 
If I (G) had my say 
Gonna (C) stay that way 
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y 
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be 
 
I'll take a (G) Chevrolet just (C) any day 
Give your (D) daddy back his Mercedes (G) Benz 
And ther's some common people that I (C) hang out with 
Their my (D) good time buddies, they're my (G) friends 
And I'd (C) rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer 
Than sip a (G) crystal glass of (D) wine 
So won't you (G) make your mind up to (C) believe in me 
And leave this (D) high livin' world be(G)hind 
 
I'm just a (G) common man 
Drive a (C) common van 
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree 
If I (G) had my say 
Gonna (C) stay that way 
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y 
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be 
 
Yes, I'm (Am) happy just being (Em) free 
And (Am) happy just being (Em) me 
And I (Am) hope that you will (D7) see 
 
I'm just a (G) common man 
Drive a (C) common van 
My (G) dog ain't got a pedi(D)gree 
If I (G) had my say 
Gonna (C) stay that way 
Cause (G) high-browed people lose (D/F#) their sanit(Em)y 
And a (G) common (D) man is what I'll (G) be
