Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Change from G to C all the way through the verse, pausing with a strum on G
 on, "why she hates", and start strumming G, C again after, all that she does.
 Her hair
 Soft drifted snow
 Death white
 I'd like to know
 Why she hates
 All that she does
 And she gives
 It all that she's got
Until  the sky turns green
The  grass is several shades of blue
Every  member of parliament trips on glue
Until  the sky turns green
And  the grass is several shades of blue
Every  member of parliament trips on glue
It  takes  all these  things  and all  that time
Till  my sugar spun  sister's  happy
With  this love  of mine
It'll  take all these things and oh  much more
 Same as verse 1 with strumming changing from G to C all the way through until a
 pause and no chord on, "hands are stuck to my cheeks" then strumming G to C starts again.
 I've paid
 For fifteen or more
 But my guts
 Can't take any more
   (No Chord) ,
 My hands are stuck to my cheeks
 And she knows, she knows
 What this must mean
 same chords as Bridge 1)
 She wakes up with the sun
 What is all the fuss?
 As she gives me more than she thought she should
 She wakes up with the sun
 I think what have i done?
 As I gave her more than I thought I would
 It takes all these things and all that time
 Till my sugar spun sister's happy
 With this love of mine
 Changing from G to C all the way till the end of the song.
 Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
 The candy floss girl
 The sticky fingered boy
 Oh that sister of mine
 Yeah
 God bless the Stone Roses.
