Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  grew up believing in Jesse  and Frank
 Cause we never had nothing or no  one to thank
 And I came  pretty close to unloading a bank
 But I was saved by my draft board when they made  me a Yank
In  the 102nd they busted  your hump
 The taught me a man isn't always  a chump
 In the course  of Korea I learned how to jump
 In the card game of life I was holding  a trump
Floating  I'm floating on down  thru the sky
 Never had no ambition to learn  how to fly
 Be glad  when it's over be happy to land
 With this bag full of money I've got  in my hands
If  you can't get a job and they think  your insane
 If the years of your youth have been washed  down the drain
 And if you wake  up one morning with nothing but pain
 It was then I decided to grab  me a plane
With  all of my training it wasn't  to tough
Now  I'm thru taken orders and taken  their guff
 Gonna buy  me a cadilac and some luxury stuff
 Cause a veterans pension ain't nearly  enough
