Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Have  you ever passed the corner of Forth and Grand?
 Where a little ball of rhythm has a shoe-shine stand?
People  gather round and they clap their hands..
 he's a great  big bundle of joy.
 He pops the boogie-woogie  rag..the Chattanooga  shoe-shine boy.
 He charges  you a nickel just to shine one shoe.
 He makes the oldest kind of leather look like new.
 You feel  as though you wanna dance when he gets through..
 he's a great  big bundle of joy.
 He pops the boogie-woogie  rag..the Chattanooga  shoe-shine boy.
It's  a wonder  that the rag don't tear..the way  he makes it pop.
 You ought  to see him fan the air with his hoppity-hippity-hoppity-
 hippity-hop-hop-hop.
 He opens  up for business when the clock strikes nine.
 He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine.
Everybody  gets a little rise 'n shine with the great
 big bundle of joy.
 He pops the boogie  woogie rag..the Chattanooga  shoe-shine boy.
 (INTERLUDE:)
It's  a wonder  that the rag don't tear..the way  he makes it pop.
 You ought  to see him fan the air with his hoppity-hippity-hoppity-
 hippity-hop-hop-hop.
 He opens  up for business when the clock strikes nine.
 He likes to get up early when they're feelin' fine.
Everybody  gets a little rise 'n shine with the great
 big bundle of joy.
 He pops the boogie  woogie rag..the Chattanooga  shoe-shine boy.
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
