Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Twinkle,  twinkle, little star
'Long  comes Brady in his 'lectric car
 Got a mean look right in his eye
 Gonna shoot  somebody jus' to watch him die
 He been  on the job too long
 Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar
 'Long came Brady with his shiny star
 "Duncan," said Brady, "you are under arrest"
 Duncan shot a hole right in Brady's chest
 He been on the job too long.
 Old King Brady was a big, fat man
 Doctor looked down, and took hold of his hand
 reached for his pulse, the doctor said
 "I believe to my soul, king Brady, you're dead"
 He been on the job too long
 Up upon the hillside, eight hundred at hand,
 vases of roses standing around
 horses and a rubber-tired hack
 bring him down to the graveyard, it won't bring him back.
 He been on the job too long
 When the women all heard King Brady was dead,
 They went home and they'd be back in red
 Slippin' and a-slidin', shuffelin' down the street,
 In their big mother hubbards and their stockin' feet.
 He been on the job too long
 "Brady, Brady, Brady, you know you done wrong
 breakin' in here when this game's goin' on
 Bustin' down the window, tearin' down the door
 Now you lyin' dead on the barroom floor
 You been on the job too long."
 Twinkle, twinkle, little star
 'Long comes Brady in his 'lectric car
 Got a mean look in his eye
 Gonna shoot somebody jus' to watch him die
 He been on the job too long.
 He been  on the job too long.

Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar
'Long came Brady with his shiny star
"Duncan," said Brady, "you are under arrest"
Duncan shot a hole right in Brady's chest
He been on the job too long.

Old King Brady was a big, fat man
Doctor looked down, and took hold of his hand
reached for his pulse, the doctor said
"I believe to my soul, king Brady, you're dead"
He been on the job too long

Up upon the hillside, eight hundred at hand,
vases of roses standing around
[...] horses and a rubber-tired hack
bring him down to the graveyard, it won't bring him back.
He been on the job too long

When the women all heard King Brady was dead,
They went home and they'd be back in red [raggin' red?]
Slippin' and a-slidin', shuffelin' down the street,
In their big mother hubbards and their stockin' feet.
He been on the job too long

"Brady, Brady, Brady, you know you done wrong
breakin' in here when this game's  goin' on
Bustin' down the window, tearin' down the door
Now you lyin' dead on the barroom floor
You been on the job too long."

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
'Long comes Brady in his 'lectric car
Got a mean look in his eye
Gonna shoot somebody jus' to watch him die
He been on the job too long.
He [G]been on the job too [C]long.
