Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  been looking for a sweeter side
 Looking for a big bloom on a short vine
 Looking for a better  way of life
 Somewhere that I can call home
Spent  my time at a peach stand
 Sun beatin' like a stinging red tan
 Like the back of my  daddy's hand
 The only thing I've ever known
 I can hear the bees  buzzin' through the walls
 Making their honey  and singing their song
 They say I work  for the queen all day
 Yeah, I work  for the queen all day
 Ohhhh...  Ohhhh...
 Sometimes it's a bitter taste
 For a motherless child so out of place
 I never understood why she ran away
 Maybe I'll never know
 But there's a light shinin' through the trees
 And a restless hum that's calling me
 I could almost be carried by the breeze
 And let it take me where it goes
 I can hear the bees  buzzin' through the walls
 Making their honey  and singing their song
 They say I work  for the queen all day
 Yeah, I work  for the queen all day
 Ohhhh...  Ohhhh...
 Ohhhh...  Ohhhh...
 Now I'm standing on the front porch
 Kettle whistling through the screen door
 Little footsteps on the kitchen floor
 Pretty soon we're gonna eat
 Some things come right away
 Some seem to take forever and a day
 All I know is that it worked out either way
 I think I found a family
 I can hear the bees  buzzin' through the walls
 Making their honey  and singing their song
 They say I work  for the queen all day
 Yeah, I work  for the queen all day
 I can hear the bees  buzzin' through the walls
 Making their honey  and singing their song
 They say I work  for the queen all day
 Yeah, I work  for the queen all day
 Ohhhh...  Ohhhh...
 Ohhhh...  Ohhhh...
