Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Don't Strum More Than Twice)
you  roared into the driveway  of our southwestern  ranch-style house
on  a new kawasaki,  all yellow and  black
fresh  out of the showroom.
our  house faced west,
so  the big  orange  sun positioned at your  back,
 (Regular Strum Pattern)
lit  up your magnificent silhouette.
how  much better?
how  much better can my life get?
 (Don't Strum More Than Twice)
900  cubic centimeters of raw whining  power.
no  outstanding warrants for my arrest.
whoa-whoa.  whoa whoa.
the  pirate's life for me.
 Aadd2  x 4
 (Strum chords no more than twice)
i  hopped on back of the bike,  wrapped my arms around  you.
and  i sank my face  into your hair.
and  then i inhaled  as deeply  as i possibly could.
you  were as sweet and delicious  as the warm desert air.
 (Regular Strum Pattern)
and  you pointed your headlamp toward  the horizon,
we  were the one thing in  the galaxy god didn't have his eyes on.
 (Don't Strum More Than Twice)
900  cc's of raw whining  power,
no  outstanding warrants for my  arrest.
hi  diddle dee dee.
god  damn!
the  pirate's life for me!
