The day we caught the train (by Ocean Colour scene)

Em                       D             G
I never saw it as the start its more a change of heart
F                                                    E
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
G
Blowing off the dust in the room
               D       C          B
Where I forgot I laid my plans in solid rock
Em
Stepping through the door
                                         A
Like a troubadour whiling just an hour away,
Em                                                    A
Looking at the trees on the roadside felling its a holiday

D         A#dim
You and I should ride the coast
    Bm                       A/C#                Em
And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
G             G
Roll a number write another song
     A                                     *
Like jimmy heard the day he caught the train.

Em                          D                      G
He sliped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
F                                        E
Walking like groucho sucking on a number 10
G                                                     D
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
     C                      B
I'll miss the crush and I'm home again
Em
Stepping through the door
                                        A
With the night in store whiling just an hour away,
Em                                                A
Step into the sky in the starbright feeling its a brighter day.
A
You and I should ride the tracks
                                              D
And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
A
And you and I when we're coming down

We're only getting back
                           D     A     G   Em
And you know I feel no sorrow.

D    A
Oh Oh la la
G    Em
Oh Oh la la
D                  A
When you find that things are getting wild
G                        Em
Don't you need days like these............
