Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Seen  quite a bit  in my twenty-three years,
 I've been manic  depressive
 And I've spat  a few tears.
Spat  on and shat  on
 Tell me when my light's  on
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
Spat  on and shat  on
 Tell me when my light's  on
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
Rambling  and gambling
 Just  hoping for more
 I've been losing  and boozing
 But I  don't know what for
 Will anybody help?
 Tell me when my light's  on
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
(horn  solo)
 It's not  that I don't  believe  in you
 Oh, your work's  all around  for me  to see
Won't  you please help?
 Tell me when my light's  on
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
Would  you please tell  me when my light turns green?
