Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Every  man needs a  companion
 Someone to turn his thoughts to
 Like I need you
 Every man  needs a companion
 Someone to console him
 I know I  do
 John the Baptist,  took Jesus Christ
 Down to the river,  on a Friday night
 They talked about Mary,  like a couple of boys
 With nothing to lose  too scared to try
 Joseph Campbell, and the Rolling Stones
 Couldn't find me a myth, so I had to write my own
 I got hung up on religion, though I know it's a waste
 I never liked the name Joshua, I got tired of James
