Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 CHORUS repeat twice each time
 I wanna do great  things
 don't want to compromise
 I wanna know what love  is
 I wanna know what love is
 (variations of)
  I wanna know everything
 is it something I do to myself
  I wanna try everything
 is it something I do to myself, something I do to myself
 (after each chorus play 2 quick stabs on G then before the verse comes in
 just alternate between A and G staying for 2 beats on each. ie A A G G etc)
More  to life  than love  and war  or so  they say  and so  the saying goes
Want  to see  more broken hearts  than you  can count???????????????war?
 Oh what  do I know,  there's gotta be,  so much  I dont know....
 I wanna do...etc
 I noticed the lack of Echobelly in OLGA so I decided to knock something up.
 (Also went to the gig at Manchester Academy last night and wanted to share
 a bit of the Echobelly experience with you all!)
 I'm afraid I haven't included all the lyrics - I can't tell what she's
 saying half the time! I have included the chorus and 1 verse. There is
 a middle eight but that's just the verse chords with no vocals.
 Basically there's enough here to get you playing a half decent rendition!
