Intro: [G]///
[G] Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the [F] rain came through
What can you [C] do [D]
[G] Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the [F] party to go
Oh but you [C] know she'll get [D] by
'Cos she's [G] living in the love of the [C] common people
[G] Smiles from the heart of a [D] family man
[G] Daddy's gonna buy her a [C] dream to cling to
[G] Mama's gonna love her just as [D] much as she can
And she [G] can
It's a [G] good thing you don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the [F] snow on the ground
You got to walk into [C] town to find a [D] job
[G] Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And [F] chills you to the bone
So now you'd better go [C] home where it's [D] warm
You can [G] live in the love of the [C] common people
[G] Smiles from the heart of a [D] family man
[G] Daddy's gonna buy you a [C] dream to cling to
[G] Mama's gonna love you just as [D] much as she can
And she [G] can
[G] Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the [F] chills stay away
You take 'em in [C] stride for family [D] pride
You know that [G] faith is your foundation
Whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But [F] don't forget to pray
Just make it [C] strong where you be-[D]long
'Cos she's [G] living in the love of the [C] common people
[G] Smiles from the heart of a [D] family man
[G] Daddy's gonna buy her a [C] dream to cling to
[G] Mama's gonna love her just as [D] much as she can
And she [G] can
'Cos she's [G] living in the love of the [C] common people
[G] Smiles from the heart of a [D] family man
[G] Daddy's gonna buy her a [C] dream to cling to
[G] Mama's gonna love her just as [D] much as she can
And she [G] can
