Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 BmBmBmBm  GGGG (Repeat once and
 then on third time an A chord for the last sixteenth note G of this
 progression). Then: START SINGING!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
  (while you play the same chord progression)
  Life ain't so shitty,  there's a lot that you  can  be and
  AIN'T IT A PITY, but  its' allrighhihight  for you to
  smile  at me  and if we both--->A chord variation
 For the next part of the verse you go up to an A bar chord at the fifth
 fucking fret and put your pinky down on the high e-string at the seventh
 fret and pull it off twice as you sing with the googoodoll damn rhythm.
 But then!!! (on "necessarily come in contact with"), you go down to a G
 bar chord on the 3rd fret and do the same horny little thing with your
 pinky (you can do it with your reddy and bluey too). Then, right before
 Shannon says "hey you don't know where I'm coming from", you stop
 after you play the G chord thingamagiggygaagaagookanybandalrakittlkelymphnodes.
 Here are the lyrics to the second riff section:
  -go  there, then count on problems  that we might not necessarily
  (do greeny thing) stop
  come in contact with, hey you don't know where I'm coming from.
 (note: there is a Sonic Youth song called "Screaming Skull" where
 the second part of the lyrics starts with "go there" and it is so very
 kool)
 Then after this, you solo on the Bm, G, and A chords, listen to the record
 to get it down good.
 Then you repeat the first and second lyrical parts with the same two
 riffs and in the same fashion!, and that's just dandy,
 Oh yes it is Wendy!!
