Roger Miller - Where have all the average people gone

^CThe people in this city call me ^Dmcountry Be^G7cause of how I walk and talk and ^Csmile Well I don't mind them laughing in the ^Dmcity But the ^G7country folks all say I'm citi^Cfied

The fighting men they say that I'm a ^Dmcoward Be^G7cause I never push no one ^Caround Gentle people call me trouble^Dmmaker Be^G7cause I'll always fight and stand my ^Cground

^FFunny I don't^Em fit ^DmWhere have all the ^G7average people ^Cgone

Some pious people point and call me ^Dmsinner Be^G7cause to them I've never seen the ^Clight Other folks think of me as a ^Dmpreacher I'm ^G7just doing what I think is ^Cright

The wealthy people think that I am a ^Dmhobo ^G7Lean and hungry writing mournful ^Csongs And the poor poor people think I am a ^Dmrich man ^G7But really I'm just trying to get ^Calong

^FIt's funny I don't ^Emfit Tell ^Dmme where have all the ^G7average people ^Cgone

And the government has given me a ^Dmnumber To ^G7simplify my birth and life and ^Cdeath And still my woman thinks I'm awful ^Dmimportant Like ^G7the moon the stars the sea the sky and ^Cbreath

^FYes it's funny I don't ^Emfit ^DmWhere have all the ^G7average people ^Cgone ^FHoney I don't ^Emfit ^DmWhere have all the ^G7average people ^Cgone
