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............

| I remember when i was a kid i thought it was'oh oh light a lght..' lol! This is a great song, pretty sure its just about f**kin round woth ur mates when ur young, possibly a 'lad's holiday', still its one of those that u cant help sing along to, why are oasis widely considered to be the best band of the nineties when they cant come close to the musicality, songwriting or range of OCS? Wicked song! | |
