D   G       D    G     D         G       D       G
   I  don't know  just where I'm going
    D        G         D           G            D
But    I'm       gonna try for the kingdom if I can  
                G               D                    
Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man
             G             D
When I put a spike into my vein
              G                       D
And I tell ya things aren't quite the same          
         G             D                            
When I'm rushing on my run                        
      G                     D                    
And I feel just like Jesus' son                 
      G                       D                 
And I guess that I just don't know              
      G                        D      G     D       G   
And I guess that I just don't know
 
 
D     G        D   G         D         G     D
I         have made a  big decision
D     G        D    G          D
I'm      gonna try     to nullify my life
             G               D
Cos when the blood begins to flow
       G                       D
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
         G             D
When I'm closing in on death
 
 

 
          G               D
You can't help me not you guys
                  G                         D
Oh, all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
        G             D
You can all go take a walk
      G                       D
And I guess that I just don't know
      G                       D      G      D      G
And I guess that I just don't know
 
 
D    G      D      G        D               G        D      G
I       wish that    I was born a thousand years ago
D    G      D      G                    D
I       wish that    I'd sailed the darkened seas
     G                 D
On a great big clipper ship
           G                 D
Going from this land here to that
         G                 D
Oh, in a sailor's suit and cap
 

 
     G            D
Away from the big city
        G              D
Where a man can not be free
           G             D
Of all the evils of this town
          G               D
And of himself and those around
          G                       D
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
          G                       D      G     D      G
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
 
 
D   G   D   G            D           G       D      G
Her_____oin,   it'll be the death of me
D   G   D   G       D               G
Her_____oin,   it's my wife, and it's my life
          G              D
Because a mainline in my vein
           G            D
Leads to a center in my head
             G             D
And then I'm better off as dead
 
 

 
             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
      G                    D
Oh, I really don't care anymore
              G                D
'Bout all the jim-jims in this town
                G                    D
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
              G                      D
And everybody puttin' everybody else down
                 G                  D
And all the dead bodies piled up in Nam
 

             G               D
Cos when the smack begins to flow
      G                    D
And I really don't care anymore
 

              G           D
When that heroin is in my blood
        G              D
And the blood is in my head
             G                       D
Then I thank God that I'm as good as dead
               G                 D
And thank your God that I'm not aware
          G                     D
And thank God that I just don't care
      G                       D
And I guess that I just don't know
      G                       D      G       D        G
And I guess that I just don't know

    The beggining of every verse you need to play the strings individually to give it the normal feel, but as soon as the song starts to pick up eg, "Cos it makes me feel like I'm a man" is when you start strumming the chords. I hope that helps

    Can you make it work on a uke? Wow! I can play the chords, but getting the desired result... Not really. More because of my playing than chords. The chords do seem spot on.
