Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  just a man with a job
You  can call me Harry, Jim or Bob
Three  floors below from Picadilly
 It's dark and chilly
Counting  the cars with cocktail bars
 Keeping a check on four-wheeled wrecks
Three  floors above it's not the same
 Picadilly,  lighting up the rain
Here  I'm a ghost in the cellar
 The kind of fellow
Who's  counting days that could be nights
 Count on the man who's counting lights
Counting  lights, every night,  every kind of light
Little  lights, bigger lights,  any kind of light
Headlights  from a limo, wakin'  up the wino
Counting  lights, every night,  every kind of light
Little  lights, bigger lights,  any kind of light
And  every night, I'm  counting lights
From  left to right,  I count the lights
 I'm just a man with a map
 My 'A to Z' is open on my lap
 Lady I know where you're goin'
 Your class is showin'
 Your headlights polished to a 'T'
 I'll count your lights, you count on me
 Someday I'll leave, I believe
 If I can find the trump card in my sleeve
 Counting the boats in Monte Carlo
 A silver arrow
 Upon a cabbie cap
 My 'A to Z' flat on it's back
 Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
 Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
 Leave it to the navy, look here comes a chevy
 Counting lights, every night, every kind of light
 Little lights, bigger lights, any kind of light
 And every night, I'm counting lights
 From left to right, I count the lights
