Standard form for song sheets is all words written out, but chords supplied for first verse and chorus only. I have several notebooks filled with song sheets like this.

Having them printed out and in a notebook, I don't need to "scroll back to the first soddin verse" to see what the chords are because, with the minimum effort of lifting my eyes up on the page a bit, I can keep track of where I am harmonically, if need be. Besides, I only use the song sheets when memorizing the song in the first place, or to refresh my memory if I need to if I haven't sung the song in awhile.

If you like chords with every verse, stir yourself, cut and paste to a word processing program, then put the bloody chords in yourself. It takes a few minutes, but it isn't that hard.

Just be damned glad someone gave you the words and chords at all. Temper tantrums and demands don't get a helluva lot of sympathy or cooperation around here.
