Love of the Common Man
Words and Music/Todd Rundgren
Okay I guess I'm going to have to fill up this artists folder all by
myself.Any way thanks for your thumbs up email.
This is one of TR's favorite live performance songs,because he plays it well
as a solo number on a 12 string Ovation.Although the video shows that Todd's
playing all over the neck as well as 1st position chords,I think it sounds
better and is a bit easier(at least for me it is) if you keep the chords
simple.
Remember boys and girls just listen to the record and follow the changes.
1st verse
[E] [Abm7] [C#m7] [B] [A] [Asus4] [E]
I've been burned --------------in my prime. The simple
things in life [Abm7]seem so hard t[C#m7]o learn som[B]etimes.And [A]it
