Standard (EADGBE)

The people in the city call me country,

Because of how I walk and talk and smile

Well I don't mind them laughing in the city,

 But the country folks all say I'm cityfied

The fightin' men the say that I am a coward,

Because I never push no-one around

Gentle people call me trouble maker,

 'Cause I'll always fight to stand my ground

 It's funny I don't fit,

Where've all the average people gone

Some pious people point and call me sinner,

Because to them I've never seen the light

Other folks think of me as a preacher,

I'm just doing what I think is right

The wealthy people think that I am a hobo,

Lean and hungry writing mournful songs

And the poor poor people think that I am a rich man,

 But really I'm just trying to get along

 It's funny I don't fit,

Tell me where have all the average people gone

And the Government has given me a number,

 To simplify my birth and life and death

And still my woman thinks I'm awful important,

 Like the sun and the moon and the sea and sky and breath

 Yes it's funny I don't fit,

Where've all the average people gone

 Oh honey I don't fit,

Tell me where've all the average people gone
