Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Go  if you want to go
 Go, if you want to go
 But I won't follow
 Just so you know
Leave,  if you want to leave
 But I won't be  here
 When you come home
 I'm gonna move  to San Francisco
Look  up some old friends
 I'm gonna get  me a navy pea  coat
 And an old  Mercedes Benz
This  old town keeps shrinking
 There's too many  people in my junk
 I'm gonna do  a lot of drinking
 Cause it don't hurt  when I'm drunk
 Repeat Chorus
 I'm gonna rent  me an old Victorian
Down  in the Lower Haight
 I'm gonna get  me an old accordion
 And play for the tourists  on the golden gate
 I'm gonna plant  a little garden
Paint  my bathroom blue
 I'm gonna try  real hard
 To get over  you
Here  in the city, life  it don’t move so slow
There's  plenty of good people I know
Up  in north beach they drink spicy  Italian liqueur...
Down  on market there's a lot of hobos  and hustlers...
 Chords same as chorus
Down  in Hayes Valley, there's a lot  of real good restaurants
Deep  in the tenderloin, you can have  anything you want
Over  in the mission it's always  a sunny day
There’s  a real good baseball town but my team  is across the bay
 Repeat Chorus
When  you come home
