Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 
  The verse follows this pattern, but in the recording it's
  played with bass only. The timing of the singing is really weird,
  so once again, listen to the cd.
  Strum mosty on the 4 highest strings during the verse.
 All  I have is all  I need enough for love  but not for greed yeah
 (same as above:)
 I was younger once this guy came to me told me about all the honey out there
 He said 'honey gold jewels money women wine cars that shine'
 I don't know what he was talking about but I think I had an idea
 He said 'smell the rose, sweet sweet rose, catch the sun find where it grows,
 Smell the rose, the sweet rose that grows on castle walls in heaven',
 In heaven yeah
 Well if it feels like summer you're catching the sun, and I'm
 catching the moment you fall,
 If it tastes like honey don't swallow it all,
 don't wait for the moment to come
   And catch the sun
   Hey dude,  don't lean on  me man
 Cause  I'm losing  my direction  and I can't understand,  no no no
   Hey dude,  well I do what  I can
 But  you treat me  like a woman  when I feel like  a man
 I  was crossing the city  one day, everybody  was flashing by me
 Like images of tombstones, images of tombstones,
 On a Friday night I've seen everybody looking for their little bit of honey
 To alleviate the pain, to alleviate the pain
 Well if it feels like summer don't burn in the sun,
 don't wait for the evening fall,
 If it tastes like honey don't swallow it all,
 don't wait for the moment to come
   And catch the sun
 Chorus, and then:
 No,  n no, n no, n no,  n no, n no,  n no, n no, n no  no, n no
 I  can't understand...  when I feel like  a man, sing it  to me honey!
  Then there's the little riff before the solo:
