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
