Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Well  my name it is Dai  Young
I’m  the King of Welsh Goth
 The  village I come from
 Is  near Aber-soch
I  was brought up on Bauhaus
And  black bedroom walls
And  I had my first Snakebite
When  I was in halls
Now  the graveyard is call-ing
The  sky’s getting greyer
I’ll  drink the warm blood of
The  Borough Surveyor
And  I’ll murder the verger
I’ve  seen how he gawps
And  I’ll write on his headstone:
“Here  lies Jones the Corpse”
Now  my overweight girlfriend
She  sits and she crimps
Her  mother’s convinced she’s
Communing  with imps
Her  brother’s alright  though
He’s  a good lad is Wilf
‘Cos  he’s into Plac-ebo
And  Cradle Of Filth
 ( , , , , , , )
 At my gig up in Butlins
 The Redcoats complained
 They tried to remove me
 The bottles they rained
 But for the first time in history
 I didn’t run and hide
 And the scousers in shellsuits
 Had goths on their side
 ( , , , , , , )
 Now this Land Of My Fathers
 It don’t suit my needs
 I’d rather be some place
 Like Bradford or Leeds
 Where the Gipton teenagers
 Could meet in my shed
 For advice on mascara
 And all things undead
 ( , , , , , , )
 Now my left index finger
 Is nine inches long
 It’s hovering over
 A world that’s gone wrong
 Ask me to Prestatyn
 And that’s what I’ll do
 And we’ll all die together
 And Dylan can sue
