Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Everybody  I  talk to is ready to  leave
With  the light of the morning
 They’ve seen the end coming down long enough to believe
 That they’ve heard their last warning
 Standing alone
 Each has his own ticket in his  hand
 And as the evening descends
   (,,)
 I sit thinking ’bout everyman
 Seems like I’ve always been looking for some other place
 To get it together
 Where with a few of my friends I could give up the race
 And maybe find something better
 But all my fine dreams
 Well though out schemes to gain the motherland
 Have all eventually come down to waiting for everyman
Waiting  here for everyman--
Make  it on your own  if you think you can
If  you see somewhere to go  I understand
Waiting  here for everyman
 D G A D--
 Don’t ask me if he’ll show -- baby I don’t know
Make  it on your own if you think  you can
Somewhere  later on you’ll have  to take a stand
Then  you’re going to need a hand
