From: [email protected] corrections from: Christian Korbanka, Cologne, Germany Subject: CRD: Common People by Pulp Date: Wed, 08 Nov 95 17:40:20 +0000 Hi guys - heres the chords for Common People by Pulp :- COMMON PEOPLE by PULP from the album 'Different Class' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The chords to this song are straightforward - chord change every two bars and there's only three chords in it. The keyboards on the recording play the melody line throughout (at least when you can hear it in the quiet bits) and you can mimic this on the guitar by hammering a sus4 on each of the chords. The biggest problem in playing this song is that it varies in speed as it meanders through Jarvis' moods. Lyrics are from the New Pulp Home Page (http://ns.ph.liv.ac.uk:80/~mbs/plp/pulp_home/) - thanks to Martin Smith. intro: C Csus4 CCShe came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge She studies sculpture at St. Martins College That's where I caughtG her eye CShe told me that her dad was loadedI said "In that case I'll have a rum and coca-cola"She said "finGe" and in a thirty seconds time she said F"I want to live like common people I want to do whatever common people do CI want to sleep with common peopleI want to sleep with common people like you" G Well what else could I do', I said "I'll see what I can do" CCI took her to a supermarket I don't know why but I had to start it somewhere - so it started theGre CI said "Pretend you've got no money"She just laughed and said "Oh, you're so funny"I said "GYeah, well I can't see someone else smiling in here Are you sure you wanFt to live like common people You want to see whatever common people see CYou want to sleep with common peopleYou want to sleep with common people like me G But she didn't understand, she just smiled and held my hand CRent a flat aCbove your shop, cut you hair and get a job Smoke some fags and playG some pool, prentend you never went to school But still you'll never getC it right, 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climGb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it allFYou'll never live like common people You'll never do whatever common people do CYou'll never fail like common peopleYou'll never watch your life slide out of view G And dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do CC G C GFSing along with the common people, Sing along and it might just get you thru' CLaugh along with the common peopleLaugh along even though they are laughing at you G And the stupid things that you do Because you think that poor is cool CCLike a dog lying in a corner they will bite you and never warn you look out,G they'll tear you insides out C'Cos everybody hates a tourist especially one who thinks that it's all Such a laugh Gand the chip stains and grease will come out in the bathyou will never Funderstand how it feels to live your life With no meaning or cControl and with nowhere left to go You are amazed thaGt they exist and they burn so bright Whilst you can only wonder why CRent a flat aCbove your shop, cut you hair and get a job Smoke some fags and playG some pool, prentend you never went to school But still you'll never getC it right, 'cos when you're laid in bed at night watching roaches climGb the wall, if you called your dad he could stop it allFYou'll never live like common people You'll never do whatever common people do CYou'll never fail like common peopleYou'll never watch your life slide out of view G And dance and drink and screw because there's nothing else to do CI want to live with common people like you I want to live with common people like you
