Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Tomorrow  the ground  may  shake
 Like they  said it  was bound  to happen  one day
 And the  Hollywood  sign will  fall
 The  final  call
 Well,  don't you fret, and  don't be blue
  C C7 (add little finger on third fret on G string)
 You had me and I had you
 It  was a good  life
 It  was a good,  good life
 Tomorrow  we could  all be gone
 When the Russian gangsters sell the bomb
 And the waves come roaring from the sea
 A hundred-foot swells over Venice Beach
 Well,  don't be scared, and  take my hand
 We'll  swim into the Promised Land
 It was  a good  life
 It was  a good,  good life
 It  was a good  life
It  was a good,  good life
Tomorrow  a tiny  cell might  grow
 In everyone, and it's not the cold
 Or the hole in the sky will open wide
 The aliens land on the 105
If  it comes to that
What  can we do?
You  loved me and I loved  you
It  was a good  life
It  was a good,  good life
It  was a good  life
It  was a good,  good life
 (Then the same chords again for the rest of the song: , ; , , ).
 I said a boom boom crash crash underneath the overpass
 Burning buildings, flying glass
 A good life
 On the day the earth stood still, we won't have to pay our bills
 As the mud slides down the hill, a good life
 And we won't have to make our beds
 Break out the booze, and like I said
 Let's have a ball before we're dead
 A good life
 Let the pyres rise above
 We'll go down in our sweet love
 It was a good, good life

I said a boom boom crash crash underneath the overpass
Burning buildings, flying glass
A good life
On the day the earth stood still, we won't have to pay our bills
As the mud slides down the hill, a good life
And we won't have to make our beds
Break out the booze, and like I said
Let's have a ball before we're dead
A good life
Let the pyres rise above
We'll go down in our sweet love
It was a good, good life
