Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Old  man, young man, preacher  saying amen
Taking  up collections, playing  on the bass drum
How  come the city  never sleeps  at night?
Red  cars, blue cars, payment  overdue cars
Cops  with indigestion, millionaires  and sun bums
How  come the city  never sleeps  at night?
 Short girls, tall girls, happy that they’re all girls
 Walking with tonight’s love, holding hands and then sung
 How come the city never sleeps at night?
 Good guys, bad guys, win and place show guys
 Losers with their hands out, pigeons begging bread crumbs
 How come the city never sleeps at night?
 Long nights, short nights, bungalows and goodnights
 Dreams and conversations, not a single holmium
 How come the city never sleeps at night?
