# LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE (Hurley & Wilkins) -------------------------------------------- [Indigo Girls' version is in B, and they play it in A with a capo on the second fret. It also sounds okay to play it in G (capo 4).] [I'm not sure about the chords in the intro; I'm thinking it might be: x0222x(A) x02225(A) x02220(A) xx0454(E) - xx0232 (D) - x02220 (A)]

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare It would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it the snow on the ground You better walk to town and find a job And you try to keep your hands warm But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills you to the bone You better go home, where it's warm Living in the love of the common people 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 she can Living on a dream ain't easy (no) But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit And the chills stay away We like to keep them in stride with family pride Faith is your foundation A whole lot of love and a warm conversation But don't forget to pray It's keeping us strong where we belong Living in the love of the common people 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 [A capella ending:] Living in the love of the common people (If love and faith is your foundation) Smiles from the heart of a family man (Little bit of love and a warm conversation) Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to (Don't forget to pray, it's keeping us strong) Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (Where we belong) Living in the love of the common people (Ohhh, living on a dream ain't easy) Smiles from the heart of a family man (But the closer the knit the tighter the fit) Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to (We like to keep 'em in stride) Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (With family pride) And she can (And she can) - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
