Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
The  local radio  says sorry  time to go
But  I don't sleep too well
Where  are those Southern Belles?
Tryin  to get a telephone line  through South  Caroline
Your  call may bring somebody down  for miles around
 I'm watching  her eyes again.
 I won't use  no fountain pen.
 The lady isn't here. The message wasn't clear.
 She left an hour ago, screamed from the floor below.
 Mother nature never gives in, she wants you to sing
 But how can I go on just singing this song
 My car's out of gas again.
 Hurry home to see my friend
Money  won't help you to win  a new look  at things
Loving  can bring  you down  so you fall
Then  why do you still try  to get  up at all
 Your good  and bad side  showing through
 Problems are  a part  of you
 You must love someone else or face life by yourself
 You may expect a call.
 She's waiting in the hall
 See the garden grows and it grows, nobody else knows
 And you can wear just any old thing,
 the show can begin
 I'm falling asleep to dream.
 No more hills to climb it seems
 Money won't help you to win a new look at things
 You never give in
 So why don't you sing
 But how can I go on just singing this song
 My car's out of gas again
 I'll be home to see my friend
 The End
