Love Of The Common People(Chords)

	        A  
Living on free food tickets 
Watering the milk from the hole in the roof 
G 
Where the rain came through 
D        E  
What can we do? 
A 
Tears from your baby sister crying 
C 
Cause she doesn't have a dress 
G 
Without a patch for the party to go 
D                E 
Ah, but you know she'll get by because she's 

A              D                 E  
Living in the love of the common people 
Smiles from the heart of a family man 
Daddy's going to buy you a dream to cling to  
Mommy's gonna love you as much as she can,  
A G D  A G D  
and she can 
(The key changes here)  
A 
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare 
It would fall through the hole in your pocket 
G 
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground 
D              E 
Walkin' to town to find a job 
A 
Tryin' to keep your hands warm 
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through 
G 
And it chills to the bone 
D                 E  
Boy you better go home where it's warm 
A               D                 E  
And you can live in the love of the common people 
Smiles from the heart of a family man 
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to 
Mummy's goin' to love you as much as she can 
 A G D A G D F A E B A E B  
And she can 

(Change of Key) 

B 
Livin' on dreams ain't easy 
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit 
A 
And the chills stay away 
E                      F 
You take them in stride, family pride 
B 
You know faith is your foundation 
A 
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation 
And many a prayer 
E                 F 
Making you strong, where you belong 

B             E           F  
Living in the love of the common people 
Smiles from the heart of a family man 
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to 
Mummy's goin' to love you just as much as she can 
F 
Yeah 
B              E           F 
Living in the love of the common people 
Smiles from the heart of a family man 
Daddy's goin' to buy you a dream to cling to 
 B A E B A E B A E B  
Mummy's goin' to love you just as much as she can 
Yeah
