Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Won't  drink,  won't  smoke
Won't  get home  at a hundred  o'clock
Nobody's  going to satisfy  me
 Except  you and the baby  and the colour  TV
 I was always in my prime
 Now I'm falling over the line
 The boys are sad to have let me go
 But you got it all to get me home
You quiet  me down
 I been all over  the place  and I ain't  found anyone
Keep  my feet  on the ground,  no
Can  we be bigger  than my  old habits
Over my  dead body  but still
If  I am  awake  in the morning
 We'll be royal  in the afternoon
(You'll  be  the queen, I'll be the king of it all)
 Words of a drunk
 Fade with the light
 Satan delivers and the goods are alright
 He's at home now counting the dough
 I'm standing here for another last throw.
You quiet  me down
 I been all over  the place  and I ain't  found anyone
Keep  my feet  on the ground,  no
Can  we be bigger  than my  old habits
Over my  dead body  but still
If  I am  awake  in the morning
 We'll be royal  in the afternoon
 Solo in /  over
Can  we be bigger  than my  old habits
Over my  dead body  but still
If  I am  awake  in the morning
 We'll be royal  in the afternoon
(You'll  be  the queen, I'll be the mad king of it all
 Royal in the afternoo-oo-oon...)
