INTRO: G C G C G

#1.
G
Living on free food tickets, water in the milk 
                                    F
from the hole in the roof where the rain came 
                      C             D
through..what can you do?..mmm-hmmm-hmmm.
G
Tears from your little sister, crying cause she 
                                             F
doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party 
                   C                D
to go..oh, but you know, she'll get by.

CHORUS:
              G                         C      D
Because she's living in the love of the common people.
G                            C      D
Smiles from the heart of the family man.
G                       C        D
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to.
G                             C           D
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, and 
    G
she can.

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare, it would 

fall through the hole in your pocket and you'll lose 
          G                             D
it in the snow on the ground..walk into town to find 
  E
a job.
A
Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your 
                                      G
shoe let the snow come through and it chills you to 
                             D               E
the bone..boy, you better go home where it's warm.

she can.

B
Living on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit 
                            A
the tighter the fit and the chills stay away.

I can take them in stride, for family pride.
