Its a pretty basic chord progression....
EJehosaphat (022100@1)the mongrel cat
E (022100@1)                   AJumped (x02220@1)off the roof today
ASome (x02220@1)say he fell but I could tell
   B(or B7)     EHe (022100@1)did himself away
EWell (022100@1)his eyes weren't bright

Like they were the night
E (022100@1)                        AWe (x02220@1)played checkers on the train

well god bless his soul he was a tootsie roll
          B(B7)
but hes a dead cat just the same....

Thats the verse...all the chords are the same for each one...

       A (x02220@1)                EWe (022100@1)are living in the future
  A (x02220@1)              EI (022100@1)tell you how I know
  A (x02220@1)              EI (022100@1)read it in the paper
B(B7)          Efifteen (022100@1)years ago
A (x02220@1)                      EWe're (022100@1)all driving rocket ships
    A (x02220@1)                 Eand (022100@1)talking with our minds
 A (x02220@1)                Ewearin (022100@1)turquois jewelery
B(B7)                EAnd (022100@1)standin in soup lines
B (B7)
Standin in soup lines
