Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 (Verse1)
Life  is my  friend
Rake  it up to take  it in
Wrap  me in your cinnamon
 Especially  in Michigan
....well  I could be  your friend
 (Verse 2)
White  clouds I'm  in
 A mitten  full of fisherman
 C'mon  Huckleberry  Finn
 Show  me how to make  her grin
....well  I'm in Michigan
 (Chorus)
Cry  me a future
 Where the revelations  run amok
Ladies  and gentlemen
Lions  and tigers come running
 Just to steal your luck
 (repeat verse chords)
 A rainy Lithuanian
 Who's dancing as an Indian
 Painted in my tiger skin
 (Especially in Michigan)
 Double chins and bowling pins
 Unholy Presbyterians
 Land is full of medicine
 I find it when I'm slipping in
 ....into Michigan
 The tainted new librarian
 Who fainted when she tucked you in
 Let's float away like zeppelins
 (On stoic gusts of Northern winds)
 Cry me a future
 Where the revelations run amok
 Ladies and gentlemen
 Lions and tigers come running
 Just to steal your luck
 (instrumental)
 Out on the farm we'll be
 Swimming with the mother duck
 Deep in the mitten where
 Lions and tigers come running
 Just to steal your luck
 Life is my friend
 Underwater violins
 Order now from Ho Chi Min
 A porcelain that comes in twins
 ....when I'm in Michigan
 Throw me in the looney bin
 'Cause I can take it on the chin
 The cleavage of your pillow skin
 (Is moving like a violin)
 Cry me a future
 Where the revelations run amok
 Ladies and gentlemen
 Lions and tigers come running
 Just to steal your luck
 Out on the farm we'll be
 Swimming with the mother duck
 Deep in the mitten where
 Lions and tigers come running
 Just to steal your luck, oh yeah
