Nashville West  Love Of The Common People  by John Hurley
                                              Ronnie Wilkins

F
Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
          Eb
Lets the rain came through
             Bb     C
What can you do ah ha
F
Tears from  the little sister

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
	                  Eb
Without a patch for the party to go
           Bb              C
Oh but you know,she'll get by
       F                         Bb     C
She is living in the love of the common people
F                        Bb     C
Pride in  the heart of a family man
F                       Bb       C
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
F                              Bb          C          F
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
G
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket
                         F
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
             C              D
A walkin' to town to find a job
G
Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
	   F
And your chilled to the bone
	           C               D
Oh,you better go home where it's warm
       G                         C      D
She is living in the love of the common people
G                        C      D
Pride in  the heart of a family man
G                       C        D
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
G                              C           D          G
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
A
Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the knit,the tighter the fit
        G
And the chills go away
                 D            E
You take them in stride,family pride
A
You know that faith is your foundation

And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
    G
And plenty of prayer
           D                E
Making you strong,where you belong
       A                         D      E
She is living in the love of the common people
A                        D      E
Pride in  the heart of a family man
A                       D        E
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
A                              D           E          A
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
