[Verse 1]
A
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk
From a hole in the roof
G
Where the rain came through
D E
What can you do, hmmm?
A
Tears from your little sister
Crying because she doesn't have
A dress without a patch
G
For the party to go
D E
But she knows she'll get by
[Chorus]
A
'Cause she's living in
D E
The love of the common people
A
Smiles from the heart
D E
Of a family man
A
Daddy's gonna buy you
D E
A dream to cling to
A
Mama's gonna love you
D E
Just as much as she can
A
And she can
[Verse 2]
B
It's a good thing
You don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole
In your pocket and you'd lose it
A
In the snow on the ground
E
You got to walk into town
F#
To find a job
B
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe
Let the snow come through
A
And chill you to the bone
E
Somehow you'd better go home
F#
Where it's warm
[Chorus]
B
Where you can live in
E F#
the love of the common people
B
Smile from the heart
E F#
Of a family man
B
Daddy's gonna buy you
E F#
A dream to cling to
B
Mama's gonna love you
E F#
Just as much as she can
B
And she can
[Verse 3]
C#
Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit
The tighter the fit
B
And the chills stay away
F#
'Cause we take 'em in stride
G#
For family pride
C#
You know that faith
Is in your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation
B
But don't forget to pray
F#
It's makin' it strong
G#
Where you belong
[Chorus]
C#
And we're living in
F# G#
The love of the common people
C#
Smiles from the heart
F# G#
Of a family man
C#
Daddy's gonna buy you
F# G#
A dream to cling to
C#
Mama's gonna love you
F# G#
Just as much as she can
D#
Yes, we're living in
G# A#
The love of the common people
D#
Smile's from the heart
G# A#
Of a family man
D#
Daddy's gonna buy you
G# A#
A dream to cling to
D#
Mama's gonna love you
G# A#
Just as much as she can...
