Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Say  a word  for Jimmy Brown
He  ain't got nothing at  all
Not  a shirt  right of his back
He  ain't got nothing at  all
And  say a word for  Ginger Brown
Walks  with his head  down to the ground
Took  the shoes right of  his feet
To  poor boy right out  in the street
And  this is what he said
Oh  sweet  nuthin'
She  ain't got nothing at  all
Oh  sweet  nuthin'
She  ain't got nothing at  all
 Say a word for Polly May
 She can't tell the night from the day
 They threw her out in the street
 But just like a cat she landed on her feet
 And say a word for Joanna Love
 She ain't got nothing at all
 'Cause everyday she falls in love
 And every night she falls when she does
 She said
 Oh sweet nuthin'
 You know she ain't got nothing at all
 Oh sweet nutin'
 She ain't got nothing at all
 Oh let me hear you!
 Say a word for Jimmy Brown
 He ain't got nothing at all
 Not a shirt right of his back
 He ain't got nothing at all
 And say a word for Ginger Brown
 Walks with his head down to the ground
 Took the shoes right of his feet
 To poor boy right out in the street
 And this is what he said
 Oh sweet nuthin'
 She ain't got nothing at all
 Oh sweet nuthin'
 She ain't got nothing at all
 She ain't got nothing at all
 Oh sweet nuthin'
 She ain't got nothing at all
 She ain't got nothing at all
 etc.
 I often wonder how beautiful three chords can be...
