Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  knocked out Buster Johnson  on the playground  after school;
I  went from being a 3rd  grade punk to 6th grade  cool
 Yeah I still  hold the landspeed record
 Down county  road 509
Judge  Taylor said he was real  impressed
 But wouldn`t wave  the fine
 Yeah I still  got my picture on the bait  shop wall
 With a 6 pound  small mouth bass
I  see that i`m still loved  and hated
 On that overpass
 (chorus)
 Yeah  I got a name  in this town
 Some good,  some bad  that i`ll never  live down
Anywhere else  i`m just a  face in the crowd
 But  I got a name  in this town
 Yeah  I got a  name in this town
Might  have to fight my way out of Lucy's
 When I show  up tonight
 Round here  it seems old scores,  old flames
 Man they never  die
Then  again it might just  be a bunch of back-slappin'
 When I  walk through the door
 Hear the same  ol' stories that keep  gettin' bigger
 Than they were  before
 I packed  my things and hitched  my dreams to a shootin'  star
 And if the  world out there don't give a damn  about me
 Or this  guitar, it won't matter  at all cause
 (chorus)
 I got a  name in this  town
 Some good,  some bad  that i`ll never  live down
Anywhere else  i`m just a  face in the crowd
 But  I got a name  in this town
 Yeah  I got a  name in this town
 Yeah I got a name in this town
 Been called a few things I shouldn't say right now
 A little hard-headed and a little too proud
 But I got a name in this town
 Yeah I got a name in this town
 (bridge)
Risk  taker, heartbreaker,  troublemaker
 Man I got a name in this town
Big  dreamer, dead  ringer, not a bad  singer
 Yeah I got a name in this town
S.O.B,  wild  and free,  you know me
 Man I  got a name in this town
 I got a name in this town
 I got a name in this town
