Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The wind  in my hair  and the sun  in my eyes
This  is the life  that I  have chose
I  must keep running  until  I  fall
I  can’t live  with the lies  that some people have told
Send  my mother  a lock  of my hair
Send  my father the ribbons  he gave  me
Tell  them hated  so say  farewell
 But I can’t  live with the lies  that some people tell
Why  can’t the world be like little  yellow roses
Lies  they don’t know, truth only they grow
 I’ve always believed all man are equal
 Whatever colour, religion or land
 I can’t stand still and watch it destroyed
 So I’ll keep on running until it is forever mend
