[G][C][D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
As the [G]maid poured
wine and we pre[C]pared to dine
I [D]knew I was feelin' out of [G]place
[C]At [G]a table as large as a [C]river barge
And "I [D]love you" written
all on your [G]face[Am]

[Verse 2]
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
Concernin' [D]somethin' you
should really [G]know

[Verse 3]
I'm just a [G]common [Em]man,
drive a [C]common van
My [G]dog ain't got a pedigree
[D]If I hav[G]e my say,
[Em]it gonna stay [C]that way
'Cause [G]high-browed people
people lose [Em]their sanity
And a [G]common [D]man is what I'll [G]be
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]I'll tak[G]e a Chevrolet just any day[C]
So give your [D]Daddy back his Mercedes Benz
[G]And[D] there's some common[G]
people that I [C]hang out with
They're my [D]good time buddies,
they're my [G]friends[Am]
[G]And I'd

[Verse 5]
[C]rather chug-a-lug a a
a mug of Budweiser Beer
Than sip [G]a crystal glass of [D]wine
So won't you [G]make your mind
up to be[C]lieve in me
And leave this [D]high livin' world behind

[Verse 6]
[G]I'm jus[Em]t a com[G]mon man[Em],
drive a [C]common van
My [G]dog ain't got a pedigree
[D]If I hav[G]e my say[Em] it's
gonna [C]stay that way
'Cause [G]high-browed people
people lose [Em]their sanity
And a [G]common [D]man is what I'll [G]be

[Verse 7]
Yes, I'm [Am]happy just [Em]being free
And I'm [Am]happy just being [Em]me
And I [Am]hope that you will see
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Bm]
