Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
A  mouse lived in a windmill  in old  Amsterdam
 A windmill  with a mouse  in and he  wasn't grousin'
He  sang every morning,  "How  lucky I am,
Living  in a windmill  in old  Amsterdam!"
I  saw a mouse!
 Where?
There  on the stair!
Where  on the stair?
 Right there!
 A little mouse with clogs  on
Well  I declare!
 Going clip-clippety-clop  on the stair
 Oh yeah
This  mouse he got lonesome,  he took  him a  wife
 A windmill  with mice  in, it's  hardly surprisin'
She  sang every morning,  "How  lucky I am,
Living  in a windmill  in old  Amsterdam!"
 REPEAT CHORUS
 KEY CHANGE -
First  they had triplets  and  then they had  quins
 A windmill  with quins  in, and triplets  and  twins in
They  sang every morning,  "How  lucky we  are
Living  in a  windmill in  Amsterdam,  ya!"
 (now because of the key change, the next chorus uses the following chords)
I  saw a mouse!
 Where?
There  on the stair!
Where  on the stair?
 Right there!
 A little mouse with clogs  on
Well  I declare!
 Going clip-clippety-clop  on the stair
 Oh yeah
The  daughters got married  and so  did the sons
 The windmill  had christ'nin's  when  no one was list'nin'
They  all sang in  chorus, "How  lucky we  are
Living  in a  windmill in  old Amsterdam!"
 REPEAT CHORUS
 play slower)
A  mouse lived in a  windmill, so snug  and so  nice
 There's  nobody there  now but a whole  lot of  mice.
 (to which the mice sing)
 Oh yeah!!!
