This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

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