Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Long  way going to
 Get my medicine
 Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano  from a window played
 Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
 I found  it in the street
 At first  I did not see
Lying  at my feet
 A trampled rose
Passing  the hat in church
 It never stops going around
You  never pay just once
 To get the job done
What  I done to you,
 I know  you done to me
What  happened to  the trampled rose?
In  the muddy street
 With the fireworks and leaves
A  blind man with a cup I asked
 Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'
 I know  that rose,
Like  I know my name
 The one  I gave my love,
 I said  it was the same
 Now I find  it in the street,
 A trampled rose
