Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Stuck  on limbo bridge
 Where below  me ol' Nick grins
 Then laughs  through the chaos of it all
Gets  up off his chair
 Spins a jig  to my despair
 He can't wait  to count the times  where I went wrong
Underneath  the bush
 Lay a begger  out of luck
 On his lips  was a taste he forgets
 His hopes  are filled with sand
 That he watched  fall through his hand
 Every grain  was a lifetime  of regret
 So go and  bow your head and weep
 For your  world won't change  while you sleep
Yeah,  go and bow your head and weep
 For the summer  that was lost, now  is gone
Yeah,  the summer that was lost,  now is gone
Fertile  Mrs. Moore
 Had thirteen  kids but still looked good
 Til' her  ol' man jumped leave  on a ship
 She never  read a book
 But by Christ  she understood
 That the meanin'  of life  starts in bed
Killer  Kilbain
 Beat me senseless  everyday
 I hope that bastard  is beneath a head of stone
 Where I'll dance  upon his grave
 For all the madness  I now crave
 While the scars  that remain  are still a curse
Stuck  on limbo bridge
 Where below  me ol' Nick grins
 Then laughs  through the chaos of it all
Gets  up off his chair
 Spins a jig  to my despair
 He can't wait  to count the times  where I went wrong
 Yeah, he can't wait  to count the times  where I went wrong
 LAST CHORUS:
So  go and bow your head and weep
 For your world  won't change  while you sleep
 Yeah, go and bow  your head and weep
 For the summer  that was lost,  now is gone
 For the summer  that was lost,  now is gone
 For the summer  that was lost,  now is gone
 For the summer  that was lost,  now is gone
