Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Basically the same chords are played during the whole song.
Sukie  was the kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard
 She did brass rubbings, she learned you never had to press hard
 When she was finished  hanging out she was all  alone
 She decided  that she better check  in at home
 There was an awful  row between her mum  and dad
 They said she hadn't  done this, she hadn't  done that
 If she wanted  to remain  inside the family  home
 She'd have  to tow the line,  she'd have to give  it a go
 It didn't  suit Sukie
 So she took  her things  and left
 Sukie was the kid, she liked to hang out at the art school
 She didn't enrol, but she wiped the floor with all the arseholes
 She took a bijou flat with the fraternity cat
 She hid inside the attic of the sculpture building
 She had a slut slave and his name was Dave
 She said "Be my photo bitch and I'll make you rich"
 He didn't believe her but the boy revered her
 He got her meals and he got her a bed
 He watched behind the screen and she started to undress
 He never got far
 Just lookin' and playing guitar
 (solo)
 Autumn hanging down all the trees are draped like chandeliers
 Sukie saw the beauty but she wasn't wet behind the ears
 She had an A1 body and a face to match
 She didn't have money, she didn't have cash
 With the winter coming on, and the attic cold
 She had to press her nose on the refectory wall
 They served steamed puddings she went without
 She had to pose for life for all the scholars of art
 She didn't feel funny, she didn't feel bad
 Peeling away everything she had
 She had the grace of an eel, sleek and stark
 As the shadows played tricks on the girl in the dark
 Sukie was the kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard
