Love of the Common People — Paul Young
Chords and lyrics for Love of the Common People by Paul Young (key of D).
Verse 1
[A]Livin' on free food tickets,
water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the [G]rain came through.
What can you [D]do? [E]Ahah.
[A]Tears from your little sister, crying because she doesn't have a dress
without a patch for the [G]party to go.
But you [D]know, she'll get [E]by.
Refrain
Cause she's [A]living in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can. [E7]And she [A]can.
Verse 2
[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 in [G]the snow on the ground.
You gotta walk into [D]town, to find a[E] job.
[A]Trying to keep your hands warm,
when the hole in your shoe let the snow come through,
and chill [G]you to the bone.
So now you better go [D]home where it's [E]warm.
Refrain 2
Where you can [A]live in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can. [E7]And she [A]can.

Verse 3
[A]Living on a dream ain't easy.
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit, and the [G]chills stay away.
Just take them in [D]stride for family [E]pride.
You know that [A]faith is your foundation with a whole lotta love
and a warm conversation, but [G]don't forget to pray.
Just making it [D]strong, where you [E]belong.
Refrain
And we're [A]living in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can. [E7]And she [A]can.
Yes we're [A]living in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can.
[A]living in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can.
[A]living in the love of the [D]common people,
[A]smiles from the heart of a [E]family man.
[A]Daddy's gonna buy you a [D]dream to cling to,
[A]Mama's gonna love you just as [E]much as she can. [E7]And she [A]can.
