Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Out  in the forest
 Out past the stone  wall
 Built by old farmers
 Or older guys
 I saw a railway
 With tracks all rusted
 Wild flowers blooming
 Up through the tides
 I set out walking
 Just cross-tie walking
 Out on the cross-ties
 Where I could step
 Sometimes I missed one
 Sometimes there was none
 Sometimes the flowers
 Had eaten it
 The sun was burning
 The flies were churning
 The trees were turning
 Inside the sky
 The tracks were rotten
 Some trash forgotten
 Sometimes a bottle with ash inside
 I've been a walker
 A sidewalk talker
 Out on the sidewalks
 Where I could stay
 Someday my body
 Will look real shoddy
 Wherever flowers have eaten it
 Voracious flowers
 Voracious hours
 Voracious people
 Voracious slime
 Words like voracious
 Just sound like nonsense
 After you say them about five times
 These flowers blooming
 They are not human
 These flies and insects
 Are really weird
 Their backs are shiny
 Their souls are tiny
 And by the zillions
 They've disappeared
 So if there's life after
 It's packed with insects
 It's filled with flowers
 No room for us
 When they kick the bucket
 They just say chuck it
 They come and go like
 Infinite dust
 (Whistle) same chords as verse
 The human race's
 Beautiful faces
 Changing places
 Reform and bust
 When we kick the bucket
 Let's just say chuck it
 We'll come and go like
 Infinite dust
 You can play the same chords as the verse over it if you want)

Readable chord sheet for Bugs And Flowers by Jeffrey Lewis

O[G]ut in the f[D]orest
Out past the s[G]tone wall
Built by old f[D]armers
Or older gu[G]ys
I saw a ra[Am]ilway
With tracks all r[C]usted
Wild flowers bloo[Em]ming
Up through the ti[G]des

I set out walking
Just cross-tie walking
Out on the cross-ties
Where I could step
Sometimes I missed one
Sometimes there was none
Sometimes the flowers
Had eaten it

The sun was burning
The flies were churning
The trees were turning
Inside the sky
The tracks were rotten
Some trash forgotten
Sometimes a bottle with ash inside

I've been a walker
A sidewalk talker
Out on the sidewalks
Where I could stay
Someday my body
Will look real shoddy
Wherever flowers have eaten it

Voracious flowers
Voracious hours
Voracious people
Voracious slime
Words like voracious
Just sound like nonsense
After you say them about five times

These flowers blooming
They are not human
These flies and insects
Are really weird
Their backs are shiny
Their souls are tiny
And by the zillions
They've disappeared

So if there's life after
It's packed with insects
It's filled with flowers
No room for us
When they kick the bucket
They just say chuck it
They come and go like
Infinite dust

(Whistle) same chords as verse

The human race's
Beautiful faces
Changing places
Reform and bust
When we kick the bucket
Let's just say chuck it
We'll come and go like
Infinite dust
