Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Fell  in the street in a drunken  heap;
There's  bright water all around me.
And  the cheap red wine in me drunken  brain
Has  left a burning flame in me belly.
I  don't need nobody helping me;
 I don't  need nobody's arm  around me.
If  I was a black beetle upside  down,
I  could kick all night long and never  turn around.
But  I'm flat on my back in the rainbow  rain,
Still  I know, in the morning I'll be on me feet  again.
Just  can't get a grip on the ground;
I'm  upside down the right  way round.
I  promise thee my shameless  lady,
Who  laughs out loud in the sad  patient night,
Always  to be honestly  thee,
In  me waking dreams or me drunken  nights,
I  don't fear the yawning sunshine morning;
 I'm forward  running back  again.
Fell  in the street in a drunken  heap;
There's  bright water all around me.
And  the cheap red wine in me drunken  brain
Has  left a burning flame in me belly.
I  don't need nobody helping me;
 I don't  need nobody's arm  around me.
