Verse 1
As the [G]maid poured wine and we [C]prepared to dine
I [D]knew I was feeling out of [G]place
At a [G]table as large as a [C]river barge
And I [D]love you written all on your [G]face
I [C]appreciate 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]something you should really [G]know
Chorus
I'm just a [G]common man
Drive a [C]common van
My [G]dog ain't got a [D]pedigree
If I [G]had my say
Gonna [C]stay that way
'Cause [G]high-browed people lose [Em]their sanity
And a [G]common [D]man is what I'll be

Verse 2
I'll take a [G]Chevrolet just [C]any day
So, give your [D]daddy back his Mercedes [G]Benz
And there's some [G]common people that I [C]hang out with
They're 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 [G]behind
