Here's an approximate version of the way Peter Hinwood does it in the film - it might be a bit different 
from the way it is usually in the stage show but? I tried?
A                       D               A     D
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
A                                  D                    A      D
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
C#m         D
Oh, woe is me
E             A
My life is a misery
C#m         D
Oh, can't you see
E
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
A
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer (Oh, Rocky!)
A        D
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime (Oh no no no)
A        D
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime  (Oh no no no)
A         D
Sha la la la
                                     E
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head (That ain't no crime)
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread (That ain't no crime)
Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery
And can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime
Oh no no no
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime
Oh no no no
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime (x2)
