Biography:
John Conlee has achieved a level of success that he has sustained by simply being himself and by making records that the listening public can relate to. He is a gifted entertainer, but he’s not into the glitz and hype of the entertainment world. He’d rather spend his “off the road” time working on his 32 acre farm outside of Nashville, or engaging in his woodworking and gun-smithing hobbies.
Overall, there have been 29 single releases throughout the years with 26 of them charting in the top 20 or better.

COMMON MAN
John Conlee
Writers : Sammy Johns
G C
As the maid poured wine and we prepared to dine
D G
I knew I was feeling out of place
C
At a table as large as a river barge
D G
And I love you written all on your face
C
Now, I ap preciate your hospitality
G D
But, I wish that we would go
G C
Let me drive us to McDonald's and I'll talk to you
D G
Concerning something you should really know
G
I'm just a common man
C
Drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedi gree
G
If I had my say
C
Gonna stay that way
G D/F# Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanit y
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
G C
I'll take a Chevrolet just any day
D G
Give your daddy back his Mercedes Benz
C
And ther's some common people that I hang out with
D G
Their my good time buddies, they're my friends
C
And I'd rather chug-a-lug a mug of Budweiser beer
G D
Than sip a crystal glass of wine
G C
So won't you make your mind up to believe in me
D G
And leave this high livin' world be hind
G
I'm just a common man
C
Drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedi gree
G
If I had my say
C
Gonna stay that way
G D/F# Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanit y
G D G
And a common man is what I'll be
Am Em
Yes, I'm happy just being free
Am Em
And happy just being me
Am D7
And I hope that you will see
G
I'm just a common man

Drive a common van
G D
My dog ain't got a pedi gree
G
If I had my say
C
Gonna stay that way
G D/F# Em
Cause high-browed people lose their sanit y

And a common man is what I'll be
