Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 My house  burned down in a flash of thunder.
 My wife  ran off with a one-legged plumber.
 My crops  fell dead when the riverbed went dry.
 My dog  got squashed by a pickup truck.
 My son  ran away and got hooked on drugs.
 My daughter's  knocked up by the class of '85.
People  say that life is good,
 it don't  seem good to me.
 I'm lost  without a paddle,
 and I'm headed up  shit creek.
People  say that life is fun,
 but  I don't know why,
 as far  as I can tell,
   STOP  (  - )
 life sucks , then you die.
   ->
 The government  dumps its toxic waste,
right  on top of my mother's grave,
 a team  of experts say it won't do her no harm.
 But my sheep  went crazy and killed my mule.
 I cut  off my dick with a power tool,
 fixin'  the hole where the meteor hit the barn.
 People  say that life is good,
 but I  just piss and moan,
 i got one  foot on a banana peel,
 the other  in the Twilight Zone.
 People  say that life is fun,
but  I don't know why,
 as far  as I can tell,
   STOP  (  - )
 life sucks , then you die.
   ->
 I went  to the store to buy some shells,
 my gun  went off and blew the owner to hell,
 now I'm sittin'  here in jail, singin' this song.
 And one  guy wants to cut me with a knife,
 another  guy wants me to be his wife,
 hey, I wish  they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!
 People  say that life is good,
 give thanks  for what you have,
 when all  you have is nothin',
 nothin'  makes  you glad.
 People  say that life is fun,
 but  I don't know why,
 as far  as I can tell,
   STOP
 life sucks ,
   STOP
 life sucks ,
   STOP  (  - )
 life sucks , then you die.
