Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Here  we go again
Another round  of blues
Several miles ago
I  set down  my angel  shoes
 On a lost highway
 For a better view
 Now in my mind's eye
 All roads lead to you
So  wherever you go
 You better take care  of me
This  time
 If you're gonna  go
Remember me  and all
This  time
 We had our bitter cheer
 And sweet sorrow
 We lost a lot today
 We get it back tomorrow
 I hear the sound of wheels
 I know the rainbow's end
 I see lights in a fat city
 I feel love again
All  this time
 I been makin'  deals
 Shades of black  and white
 On a Hollywood  reel
All  this time
 I been missing
 Something so real,  so real
All  this time
 I been a face  in a crowd
 Now I'm living  in color
 And laughing  out loud
All  these names
 For just foolin'  around
 It's a new  breakthrough
 It's an old breakdown
 We smoked a lot of hope
 We did our cryin', too
 We're finally waking up
 To what a real love can do
 Down a lost highway
 Under the twilight moon
 A chorus in your eyes
 Another round of blues
We  had all
This  time
We  had all
This  time
 (Lyrics from cd-sleeve)
Here  we go again
Another round  of blues
 ...
So  wherever you go
 You better take care  of me
This  time
 If you're gonna  go
 ...
All  this time
 I been makin'  deals
 Shades of black  and white
 On a Hollywood  reel
All  this time
 I been missing
 Something so real,  so real

 The last chord is (I think) Fdim(9), which is the root, minor third, diminished 5th, and major 9th
  This chord is used in other places throughout the rest of the song.
