Love Of The Common Man by Todd Rundgren




                        Love Of The Common Man






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.
