Awhile back I promised lyrics and chords for
Ordinary People. I finally got around to
transcribing the lyrics! (Only 3 months later!)
Here they are - corrections are welcome as this
is from listening to the 8/18/88 tape that Steve
Vetter made me. Also I have OP on a tape from
the Mann Music Center (thanks Randy) that has
slightly different lyrics so someone may want
to chime in with those if they have 'em.
Also the Bm before the D at the end of each lyric is
optional. It's definitely in the intro but you can
get away with just a D during the song.
- Stan the "southern man"

Ordinary People (transcribed from Toronto 8/18/88 show)
--------------------------------------------------------
(twice)
In a dusty town a clock struck high noon
two men stood face to face.
One wore black and one wore white
but of fear there wasn't a trace.
Two hundred years later two hot rods drag
through the very same place
and a half a million people
moved in to pick up the pace
a factory full of people.
Makin' parts to go to outer space
a train load of people.
They were aimin' for another place
out of town people. (Yeah Yeah)
There's a man in the window with a big cigar
says everything's for sale.
The house and the boat and the railroad car
the owner's gotta go to jail.
He acquired these things from a life of crime
now he's selling them to raise his bail.
He was rippin off the people.
Sellin' guns to the underground
tryin' to help the people.
Lose their ass for a piece of ground
rippin' off the people.
Skimmin' the top when there was no one around
tryin' to help the people. (Yeah Yeah)
He was dealing antiques in a hardware store
but he sure had a lot to hide.
He had a backroom full of the guns of war
and a ton of ammunition besides.
Well he walked with a cane kept a bolt on the door
with five pit bulls inside
just a warning to the people
who might try to break in at night
protection from the people.
Selling safety in the darkest night
tryin' to help the people.
Get the drugs to the street all right
tryin' to help the people. (Yeah Yeah)
Well it's hard to say where a man goes wrong
might be here and it might be there.
What starts out weak might get too strong
if you can't tell foul from fair.
But it's hard to judge from an angry throng
of hands stretched into the air
vigilante people.
Takin' law into their own hands
conscientous people.
Crackin' down on the druglord's land
governmment people.
Confiscatin' all the dealer's land
patch-of-ground people. (Yeah Yeah)
Down at the factory
they're puttin' new windows in.
The vandals made a mess of things
and the homeless just walked right in.
Well they worked here once and they live here now
but they might work here again
they're ordinary people.
And they're livin' in a nightmare
hard workin' people.
And they don't know how they go there
ordinary people.
And they think that you don't care
hard workin' people. (Yeah Yeah)
Down on the assembly line
they keep puttin' the same thing out.
But the people today they just ain't buyin'
nobody can figure it out.
Well they try like hell to build a quality end
they're workin' hard without a doubt
they're ordinary people.
And the dollar's what it's all about
hard workin' people.
But the customers are walkin' out
Lee Iacocca people.
Yeah they look but they just don't buy
hard workin' people. (Yeah Yeah)
Two out of work models and a fashion slave
try to dance away the Michelob night.
The bartender poured himself another drink
while two drunks sat watchin' the fight.
The champ went down then he got up again
and then he went out like a light
he was fightin' for the people.
But his timing wasn't right
for Las Vegas people
who came to see a Las Vegas fight
high rollin' people.
Takin' limos thorugh the neon night
fightin' for the people. (Yeah Yeah)
And then a new Rolls Royce and a company car
they went flyin' down the street.
Each one tryin' to make it to the gate
before employees manned the fleet.
The trucks full of products for the modern home
set to roll out into the street
of downtown people.
Tryin' to make their way to work
nose-to-the-stone people.
Some are saints and some are jerks
hard workin' people.
stoppin' for a drink on the way to work
alcoholic people. (Yeah Yeah
they're takin' it one day one day at a tiiiiime)
Out on the railroad track
they're cleanin' up number nine.
They're scrubbin' the boiler down
well she really is lookin' fine.
Awe she's lookin' so good
they're gonna bring her back on line
ordinary people.
They're gonna bring the good things back
nose-to-the stone people.
Put the business back on track
ordinary people.
I got faith in the regular kind
hard workin' people
Patch-of-ground people. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
