Where Have All The Average People Gone
Recorded by Roger Miller
Written by Dennis Linde

C                               F
The people in this city call me country
  G7                               C
Because of how I walk and talk and smile
                                       F
Well I don't mind them laughing in the city
        G7                            C
But the country folks all say I'm citified

                                     F
The fighting men they say that I'm a coward
  G7                        C
Because I never push no one around
                             F
Gentle people call me troublemaker
  G7                                   C
Because I'll always fight and stand my ground

F            Em
Funny I don't fit
Dm                 G7             C
Where have all the average people gone

                                    F
Some pious people point and call me sinner
  G7                                C
Because to them I've never seen the light
                             F
Other folks think of me as a preacher
    G7                         C
I'm just doing what I think is right
  
                                     F
The wealthy people think that I am a hobo
G7                               C
Lean and hungry writing mournful songs
                                      F
And the poor poor people think I am a rich man
G7                                C
But really I'm just trying to get along

F                  Em
It's funny I don't fit
     Dm                    G7             C
Tell me where have all the average people gone

                                  F
And the government has given me a number
   G7                             C
To simplify my birth and life and death
                                    F
And still my woman thinks I'm awful important
     G7                                     C
Like the moon the stars the sea the sky and breath

F                      Em
Yes it's funny I don't fit
Dm                 G7             C
Where have all the average people gone
F             Em
Honey I don't fit
Dm                 G7             C
Where have all the average people gone
 
repeat #1 I sang...
