Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Got  a tow, from a guy  named Joe
cost  sixty dollars hope I don't run out  of dough
told  me about a sex offense put him three days in jail
stuck  in indianapolis hope I live to tell the tale
 chorus, same chords:
 Can't go west, can't go east
 I'm stuck in Indianapolis with a fuel pump that's deceased
 Ten days on the road, now I'm four hours from my hometown
 Is this hell or Indianapolis with no way to get around
 Called my girl to tell her of the trouble that I had
 first time I called her in 10 days, I guess I made her mad
 Far as she's concerned I belong in his Hoosier state
 stuck in Indianapolis with no way to set things straight
 chorus, then harmonica lead over one verse of chords
 Sittin in this bar it's gettin more than I can stand
 if I could catch a ride I really think I'd ditch this band
 Who knows what this repair will cost, scared to spend a dime
 I'll puke if that jukebox plays John Cougar one more time
 strum
 but if I ever leave here I hope never to return
 If I get that van back man, the road I'm gonna burn
 Right now my future's in the hands of them boys down at Firestone
 stuck in Indianapolis, feelin' all alone.
 chorus, repeat last line
 harp solo over one verse and out
