The Day We Caught the Train - Ocean Colour Scene

Intro: (Single Strum)
Em                    D
I never saw it as the start,
            G
It’s more a change of heart

F                                                  E7
Rapping on the windows, whistling down the chimney pot
G                                       D
Blowing up the dust in the room where I forgot
  C                      B7
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 feeling it's a holiday
 
 
|[Chorus]
|D                A
|You and I should ride the coast
|    Bm             A                    Em
|And wind up in our favourite coats just miles away.
|G
|Roll a number.... write another song
|     A                                 D
|Like Jimmy heard the day he caught the train.
 
 
|[Post-Chorus]
|D  A        G
|Wo wo la la la
|   Em       D
|Wo wo la la la
|   A        G
|Wo wo la la la
|   Em
|Wo wo laaa

Em                        D               G
He sipped another rum and coke and told a dirty joke
F                                        E7
Walking like Groucho sucking on a number 10
G                                                    D
Rolling on the floor with the cigarette burns walked in
     C                      B7
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 star bright feeling it’s a brighter day.
 
 
[Chorus] + [Post-Chorus]

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     
And you know I feel no sorrow.
|D  A        G
|Wo wo la la la
|   Em       D
|Wo wo la la la
|   A        G
|Wo wo la la la
|   Em
|Wo wo laaa

|[Bridge x4]
|D                  A
|When you find that things are getting wild
|G                        Em7
|Don't you want days like these?
 
 
|[Post-Chorus]
|D  A
|Wo wo la la
|G  Em7
|Wo wo la la
|D  A
|Wo wo la la
|G  Em7
|Wo wo laaa
