Ordinary Man
Bill Miller
G
(início)
G C Clyde woke up real early while Edna was still asleep G C Got dressed and had some coffee, then found his set of keys Bm C C/B Am He pulled on his levi jacket, he headed for the door Am D Dsus4 D The kitchen smelled like dinner from the night before G C A rumbling exhaust pipe woke Edna from her sleep G C She stumbled like a drunkard yelling Clyde you wait for me Bm C C/B Am But Clyde was going nowhere, just sitting in his truck Am D Dsus4 D Staring with a poker face, like he'd run out of luck
Chorus
C D G Cause any fool would've turned and run C D G Any fool would've walked away C D Em Any fool would've given up C D G But an ordinary man, he chose to stay
Verse 2
G C Now Edna, she couldn't say too much, she'd seen that look before G C She kept tapping on Clyde's window, till he opened up the door Bm C C/B Am Then she put her arms around him, she never said a word Am D Dsus4 D And Clyde turned on the radio and neither of them heard G C He said Edna why don't you hop in, I think I'll call in sick G C There's three one ways to a dead end street, now you just take your pick Bm C C/B Am And she pointed to the ballfield and the park where they first kissed Am D Dsus4 D And Clyde grinned like he found something that he had almost missed
Chorus
C D G Cause any fool would've turned and run C D G Any fool would've walked away C D Em Any fool would've given up C D G But an ordinary man, he chose to stay
Verse 3
G C They spent that day in freedom, they hung on for many more G C Raised up quite a family, they found what love was for Bm C C/B Am And the aging never slowed them down, they leaned on faith, not luck Am D Dsus4 D Still out taking Sunday drives in Clyde's old beat up truck G C You know Edna, she ain't no movie star and Clyde's a little slow G C The shopping mall's replaced the park where they both used to go Bm C C/B Am But that's why they've both got each other, so they can keep their dreams alive Am D Dsus4 D The simple dreams, of the common man, still stand the test of time
Chorus
C C D G Cause any fool would've turned and run C D G Any fool would've walked away C D Em Any fool would've given up C D G But an ordinary man, he chose to stay C D G But an ordinary man, he chose to stay
