Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  the city there is something to see
 In the city there is nothing to breathe
 I'm going 'bout  my business  and I'm wondering  what I'm mi----ssing
 and on my way  home, I hid in my coat
 I wrote my name up on the city wall
 Being famous
In  the city there is a park bench you can sleep on
 In the city there is a trash can you can eat out of
 I'm going 'bout  my business,  I'm wondering  what I'm mi----ssing
 And on my way  home a cop said "NO"
 I said, "There's a man with a stick and a gun in his hand"
 Being famous
Red  man in the city, poor man in the city,
black  man in the city, fat man in the city.
Red  man, black man, fat man, blue man
 I don't know the rest of the words cause he made  them up just for you-o-o-o
 Just for you
 Alternate most G's between 320033  & 320030  & 320003
 Alternate most C's between 332010  & 330010
 
 Alternate most 's  between xx0232 & xx0233 & xx0235
 One of my favorite songs as best as I could figure out - comments, rating
 or corrections appreciated. Enjoy!
