Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  got a place that I  like to slip off to
 When everything  starts closin’ in
 And I  got some ways that the  world don’t agree with
 Yeah, some  folks would call it a sin
 But I  work like a dog and I’m good  at my job
 And I live  for a one-day weekend
 So I’m  takin’ off and I might  stay all week
 Hell I may  never come back again.
I  Need A Breather, a sweet senorita
 Writin’ my name in the  sand
I  need a break from this job and this angry boss  man
 Some coconut  lotion, a chair by the ocean
 Just sit  back and take it all in
I  got a fever and I  Need A  Breather  again.
 The people  at work they  think I’m a loner
 But I  need some time to  myself
 And I  don’t want to waste my precious  vacation
Livin’  for somebody else
 Cause I’ll  have a drink and I  might fall down
 And I don’t  think that they’d understand
I  know it all sounds a little  bit crazy
 Well maybe  that’s just what I  am
Things  fell apart down  at the office
 And I’m  getting blamed for it all
I’ve  only been back for a couple  of days
 And I’m already  climbin’ the wall
 Hey I  Need A Breather, a stiff margarita
 Bring ‘em fast as you can
 Cause I  need a break from this job and this angry boss man
 Some coconut  lotion, a chair by the ocean
 Just kick  back and take it all in
I  got a fever and I  Need A  Breather again
I  got a fever and I  Need A  Breather again.  Yes I Do.
