Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
, , ,  X 6
Windy  old head
I  sang along  with the words  that she said
Happy  and bad
"Where  goes the time?"
She  asked me once
 Oh and if  you don't mind
Give  back my heart  when you go
, , ,  x2
Begging  bowl blues
Wrapped  round my head
 Like a fistful  of news nobody reads
Me  and her name I  can't recall
 I was never  the same  after  she left  me
 And oh I  missed her so
Never  thought much  of her reason  to go
 And well, she  cast a spell
Under  I fell  in a useless hello
 Bridge.
, , ,  x3
, , ,  x4
Useless  old day
Wishing  the hours  would take  me away
Just  for a while
Nobody's crook, stealing  an answer
 Oh why  does he look drunk  as the day  he was born?
Ragged  and torn, lives  for the money  these days,
 What a joke
 And once, twice  is a sin
Couldn't  get in  with the elegant folk
, , ,  x4
I  cannot wait  any longer
 And I  cannot claim  to be free
 Whenever  it seems  like I'm losing
 The begging  bowl blues  follow me
 And she  cannot say  that she's happy
 And I  cant be sure  if I care
I  got wrapped  up in the money
 And the begging  bowl blues  kept me there
Repeat  to  fade
