needed to transpose this to something a bit better for my voice , so thought i’d share

Bm A D
i never saw it as the start it’s more a change of heart
C B
rapping on the windows , whistling down the chimney pot
D
blowing off the dust in the room
A G F#
where i forgot i laid my plans in solid rock
Bm
stepping through the door like a troubadour
E
whiling just an hour away
Bm
looking at the trees on the roadside
E
feeling it’s a holiday

A F
you and i should ride the coast
F#m E Bm
and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away
D D
roll a number write another song
E
like jimmy heard the day he caught the train
A E D Bm
oh oh la la oh oh la la ( x2 )

Bm A D
he sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
C B
walking like groucho sucking on a number 10
D A
rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
G F#
i’ll miss the crush and i’m home again
Bm
stepping through the door with the night in store
E
whiling just an hour away
Bm E
step into the sky in the starbright feeling it’s a brighter day

A F
you and i should ride the coast
F#m E Bm
and wind up in our favourite coats just miles away .
D D
roll a number write another song
E
like jimmy heard the day he caught the train .
A E D Bm
oh oh la la oh oh la la ( x2 )

E Bm
you and i should ride the tracks
E A
and find ourselves just wading through tomorrow
E Bm
and you and i when we’re coming down
E
we’re only getting back and you know i feel no sorrow
A E D Bm

A E D Bm
oh oh la la oh oh la la ( x2 )

outro
A E
when you find that things are getting wild
D Bm
don’t you want days like these

( repeat outro 3 times – last time change “want” to “need” ) then into the la la la’s to fade
