Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Up  to mighty London
 Came an Irishman one day.
As  the streets are paved with gold
Sure,  everyone was gay,
Singing  songs of Piccadilly
Strand  and Leicester Square
 Till Paddy  got excited,
 Then he shouted  to them there:
 It's a long  way to Tipperary,
 It's a long  way to go.
 It's a long way to Tipperary
 To the sweetest girl  I know!
Goodbye,  Piccadilly,
Farewell,  Leicester Square!
 It's a long  long way to Tipperary,
 But my  heart's right there.
 It's a long  way to Tipperary,
 It's a long  way to go.
 It's a long way to Tipperary
 To the sweetest girl  I know!
Goodbye,  Piccadilly,
Farewell,  Leicester Square!
 It's a long  long way to Tipperary,
 But my  heart's right there.
Paddy  wrote a letter
 To his Irish Molly-O,
Saying,  "Should you not receive it,
Write  and let me know!"
 "If  I make mistakes in spelling,
 Molly, dear," said he,
 "Remember,  it's the pen  that's bad,
Don't  lay the blame on me!
 It's a long  way to Tipperary,
 It's a long  way to go.
 It's a long way to Tipperary
 To the sweetest girl  I know!
Goodbye,  Piccadilly,
Farewell,  Leicester Square!
 It's a long  long way to Tipperary,
 But my  heart's right there.
Molly  wrote a neat reply
 To Irish Paddy-O,
Saying  Mike Maloney
 Wants to marry  me, and so
Leave  the Strand and Piccadilly
 Or you'll be to blame,
 For love  has fairly drove  me silly:
Hoping  you're the same!
 It's a long  way to Tipperary,
 It's a long  way to go.
 It's a long way to Tipperary
 To the sweetest girl  I know!
Goodbye,  Piccadilly,
Farewell,  Leicester Square!
 It's a long  long way to Tipperary,
 But my  heart's right there.
