Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The Harlem mammas  they are laughing
 They call me punk rock think they're cute
 The pizza boys they keep on starin'
 I guess they finally made it off their stoop
I  don't even know and I  don't even care x3
 Oh yeah
 Since I've  been hanging  round
 Machines  go up and  down
 Spray paint  gospel  on the beat
 Another  billboard  reads
 Come  to Miami  Beach
 A man  sells pretzels  in the heat
 Riding on the subway
 Saints and sinners sweepstakes winners
 Nine to five their smoking gun
 Jazzman Jimmy's busked a million
 Sometimes plays Duke Ellington for fun
 I don't even know and I don't even care x3
 Oh yeah
 I've been hanging round
 In the underground
 One day I saw you in your seat
 Past the transit cops
 A three-card monty box
 If I only had the guts to speak
 Riding on the subway
Mother  told me yesterday
 The things  that God would never say before
 We'll hang  around the radio and listen  to the status quo go on
 I'm all right until Sunday night when
 I keep going down
 Took the local round
 A soul confession in my sleep
 Ain't no wishing well
 Underneath the El
 I still hope someday we might meet
 Riding on the subway
