C 
The people in this city call me  
F 
country
 
Be
G7 
cause of how I walk and talk and  
C 
smile
 
Well I don't mind them laughing in the  
F 
city
 
But the  
G7 
country folks all say I'm citi
C 
fied
 
The fighting men they say that I'm a  
F 
coward
 
Be
G7 
cause I never push no one  
C 
around
 
Gentle people call me trouble
F 
maker
 
Be
G7 
cause I'll always fight and stand my  
C 
ground
F 
Funny I don't
Em 
fit
Dm 
Where have all the  
G7 
average people  
C 
gone
 
Some pious people point and call me  
F 
sinner
 
Be
G7 
cause to them I've never seen the  
C 
light
 
Other folks think of me as a  
F 
preacher
 
I'm  
G7 
just doing what I think is  
C

The wealthy people think that I am a  
F 
hobo
G7 
Lean and hungry writing mournful  
C 
songs
 
And the poor poor people think I am a  
F 
rich 
 
man
G7 
But really I'm just trying to get  
C 
along
F 
It's funny I don't  
Em

Tell  
Dm 
me where have all the  
G7 
average people  
C 
gone
 
And the government has given me a  
F 
number
 
To  
G7 
simplify my birth and life and  
C 
death
 
And still my woman thinks I'm awful  
F 
important
 
Like  
G7 
the moon the stars the sea the sky and  
C 
breath
F 
Yes it's funny I don't  
Em 
fit
Dm 
Where have all the  
G7 
average people  
C 
gone

Em 
fit

Where have all the  
G7 
average people  
C 
gone

Who is Roger Miller?
- Roger Dean Miller Sr. (January 2, 1936 - October 25, 1992) was an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, widely known for his honky-tonk-influenced novelty songs and his chart-topping country and pop hits "King of the Road", "Dang Me", and "England Swings", all from the mid-1960s Nashville sound era.
After growing up in Oklahoma and serving in the United States Army, Miller began his musical career as a songwriter in the late 1950s, writing such hits as "Billy Bayou" and "Home" for Jim Reeves and "Invitation to the Blues" for Ray Price. He later began a recording career and reached the peak of his fame in the mid-1960s, continuing to record and tour into the 1990s, charting his final top 20 country hit "Old Friends" with Price and Willie Nelson in 1982. He also wrote and performed several of the songs for the 1973 Disney animated film Robin Hood. Later in his life, he wrote the music and lyrics for the 1985 Tony Award−winning Broadway musical Big River, in which he acted.
Miller died from lung cancer in 1992 and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame three years later. His songs continued to be recorded by other singers, with covers of "Tall, Tall Trees" by Alan Jackson and "Husbands and Wives" by Brooks & Dunn both reached the number one spot on country charts in the 1990s. The Roger Miller Museum in his home town of Erick, Oklahoma—now closed—was a tribute to Miller.
