Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Well I'm goin'  out west
 Where the wind blows tall
 'Cause Tony Franciosi
 Used to date my ma
 They got some money out there
 They're giving it away
 I'm gonna do what I want
 And I'm gonna get paid
Little  brown sausages
 Lying in the sand
 I  ain't  no extra baby
 I'm a leading man
 Well my parole  officer
 WIll be proud of me
 With my Olds 88
 And the devil on a leash
 My Olds  88
 And the devil on a leash
 Well I  know  karate, Voodoo  too
 I'm gonna  make myself available  to you
 I don't  need no make up
 I got real  scars
 I got  hair on my chest
I  look good without a shirt
 Well I don't lose my composure
 In a high speed chase
 Well my friends think I'm ugly
 I got a masculine face
 I got some dragstrip courage
 I can really drive a bed
 I'm gonna change my name
 To Hannibal or maybe
 Just Rex
 Change my name to Hannibal
 Or maybe just Rex
 I'm gonna drive all night
 Take some speed
 I'm gonna wait for the sun
 To shine down on me
 I cut a hole in my roof
 In the shape of a heart
 And I'm goin' out west
 Where they'll appreciate me
 Goin' out west
 Goin' out west
