[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
What can you do?
E
Mmm
A
Tears from your little sister
Crying because
She doesn't have a dress
G
Without a patch for the party to go
D E
But you know she'll get by
[Chorus]
A
Cause she's living
D
In the love of the common people
A E
Smiles from the heart of a family man
(Ah, ah, yeah)
A D
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
A
Mama's gonna love you
E
Just as much as she can (So cold)
A
And she can
[Verse 2]
A
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
(It's a good thing, ouch)
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
G
And you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground (Ow, ah, ah, yeah)
D E
You gotta walk into town to find a job (What's it now?)
A
Trying to keep your hands warm (It's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe
Let the snow come through
G
And chill you to the bone (Brrr, cha)
D E
Somehow you'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can

Live in a love of the common people

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
A
Mama's gonna love you
E
Just as much as she can (So cold)
A
And she can
[Bridge]
A
Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit
The tighter the fit (The closer the knit)
G
And the chills stay away (Ow, ah, ah, yeah)
D E
Just to take 'em in stride for family pride
A
You know that faith is your foundation
(Ooh, now, ooh, now, ooh, now)
With a whole lotta love
And a warm conversation
G
But don't forget to pray (Forget to pray)
D E
Just making it strong where you belong
[Chorus 3]
A
And we're living
D
In the love of the common people
A E
Smile from the heart of a family man (Ah, ah, yeah)
A D
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
A
Mama's gonna love you
E
Just as much as she can (So cold)
A
And she can
