[Intro 1]
[D][A][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]people in this
[A]city call me coun[B]try[Em]
Be[A]cause of how I walk
and talk and [D]smile
Well, I don't mind them
[A]laughing in [Em]the city
But the [A]country folks all say
I'm citified
[D]

[Verse 2]
The fighting men they [A]say
that I'm a cow[Em]ard
Be[A]cause I never push
no one [D]around
Gentle people [C#]call [A]me
trouble [Em]maker
[A]'Cause I'll always fight
and stand my ground
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Funny I don't [D]fit
[Em]Where have all the average
[A]people gone?
[D]

[Verse 4]
Some pious people [A]point
and call me sin[Em]ner
Be[A]cause to them I've
never seen the [D]lights
Other folks think of [A]me as [Em]a preacher
I'm [A]just doing what I think is right
[D]

[Verse 5]
The wealthy people think
[A]that I am a hob[Em]o
[A]Lean and hungry, writing mournful [D]songs
And the poor,
poor people [A]think I am a rich [Em]man
But [A]really, I'm just trying to get [D]along

[Verse 6]

Yes, it's [G]funny I don't [F#m]fit[D]
Tell me [Em]where have [F#m]all the av[G]erage
[A]people gone?

[Interlude 1]
[D][E][B][C#sus4][F#m][B]

[Verse 7]
And the [E]government has
[B]given me a num[A]ber
[F#m]To simpli[B]fy my birth
and life and [E]death
And still my woman [B]thinks
I'm awful import[F#m]ant
Like the [B]moon and the sun and
the sea and the sky and [E]breath

[Verse 8]
Yes, it's [A]funny I don't [E]fit
[F#m]Where have all th[G#m]e
[A]average [B]people [E]gone?
[A]Funny I don't [E]fit[F#m]
Where have [E]all the [A]average
[B]people [E]gone?
