Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Sitting  in my  rocking chair,  Grandchildren everywhere
I  remember Reagan,  I remember  Nixon,
I  remember Fred  Astaire
Windows  of the world collide,
Save  me from the world inside
Bending  in the winds of  time,
Windows  of the world, Open  up my eyes
Clinging  to a memory,
Tossed  upon the cruellest  sea,
All  the tea in China,  Or an  ocean liner,
Couldn't  bring them back  to me
Windows  of the world  collide,
Staring  at the rising  tide,
Where  did all the time  go by
Windows  of the world, Teach me  how to fly
Sitting  in my rocking  chair,
Hand  brushing through  my hair
You  could be my father,  You could  be my brother,
 You  could be the love  affair
Windows  of the world collide,
Save  me from the world outside
Dissolve  me in the air tonight,
Windows  of the world Set  my eyes alight
