Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Murder  tonight in the trailer park.
 Mrs.  Annabelle Evans found
 with  her throat cut after dark.
 Her  pockets turned inside out
 her  dresser drawers turned upside down.
 Anna's  neighbor, Peg, identifies the body
 lets  out a hollow kind of sound.
 Homicide  is tying  yellow ribbons
 around  her silver Airstream.
 Red  cherries slashing  up the night
 cutting  through that cordoned  crime scene.
 There's  been a murder  in the trailer park tonight.
 Murder  tonight in the trailer park.
 Pack  your things, Ann Marie, we're heading
 west,  we're gonna make a fresh start.
 I've  been saving pennies,
 been  looking forward to this day.
 No  time for questions, are you coming
 or  are you gonna stay?
 Crosstown  at the Waterton
 George  Evans is sitting tall and tight,
 buying  drinks for all the regulars
 bragging  about how them bones  danced for him tonight.
 There's  been a murder  in the trailer park tonight.
 Murder  tonight in the trailer park.
 Faceless  man counting crumpled bills,
 hotel  neon fights the dark.
 TV  set in the corner, they're talking murder  on the late-night news.
 He  turns down the sound, waits for the sports.
 He  only wants to know "did  I win or did I lose?"
 There's  been a murder  in the trailer park  tonight.
 Murder  in the  trailer park.
 The song sounds right except for the first B (and its repetitions), which I
 think sounds a little off. It must be some B variation. If you can
 correct me, I can go to my grave happy.
