David Francey - Ordinary Man
CAPO: 3rd fret
INTRO: C G D G
C
They stuck him in the army
G
And they told him where to stand
D
What a rigid occupation
G
For the ordinary man
C
'cause he stood outside the factory gates
G
With his paper in his hand
D
What a shameful termination
G
Of the ordinary man
INSTRUMENTAL: C G D G
C
The army of the lord came down
G
Put a weapon in his hand
D
What a mean manipulation
G
Of the ordinary man
C
Politics will seal his fate
G
And money lend a hand
D
But there's no emancipation
G
For the ordinary man
INSTRUMENTAL: C G D G (2x)
C
First the kiss upon the cheek
G
Then silver changing hands
D
What a sorry condemnation
G
For the ordinary man
C
And within the prison walls he waits
G
A government's command
D
What a cruel incarceration
G
Of the ordinary man
INSTRUMENTAL: C G D G
C
He played until the ship went down
G
'Cause he was in the band
D
What a final destination
G
For the ordinary man
D
What a final destination
G
For the ordinary man
