Intro
C C/B Am G F G C C C/B Am G F G C
C C/B Am G
The people in this city call me country,
F G C
Because of how I walk and talk and smile.
C C/B Am G
Well I don't mind them laughing in the city,
F G C
But the country folks all say I'm citified.
C C/B Am G
The fighting men they say that I'm a coward.
F G C
Because I never push no one around.
C C/B Am G
Gentle people call me trouble-maker,
F G C
Cause I'll always fight and stand my ground.
F Em
Funny I don't fit.
Dm G C
Where have all the average people gone?
C C/B Am G F G C
C C/B Am G
Some pious people point and call me sinner,
F G C
Because to them I've never seen the light.
C C/B Am G
Other folks think of me as a preacher.
F G C
I'm just doing what I think is right.
C C/B Am G
The wealthy people think that I am a hobo,
F G C
Lean and hungry, writing mournful songs.
C C/B Am G
And the poor, poor people think I am a rich man,
F G C
But really, I'm just trying to get along.
F Em
It's funny I don't fit.
Dm G C
Tell me where have all the average people gone?
C C/B Am G F G C
C C/B Am G
And the government has given me a number,
F G C
To simplify my birth and life and death.
C C/B Am G
And still my woman thinks I'm awful important,
F G C
Like the moon the stars the sea the sky and breath.
F Em
Funny I don't fit.
Dm G C
Where have all the average people gone?
F Em
Yes, it's funny I don't fit.
Dm G C
Where have all the average people gone?
F Em
Honey I don't fit,
Dm G C
Where have all the average people gone?
slow
