A 
I rode my bike along the tow-path

                                   F#m
Past all the cranes that bow their heads

                              C#m
Down by the river to the gas works

                               Em                         
Where I would meet up with my friends

                               A
We'd mess around and play all summer

                                   F#m
Around our flats and on the streets

                              C#m
In days that seemed to last forever

                               D
And nights beneath my nylon sheets

       G       F  Bb
I was young and naive

    Eb        D
and drifted around

       G           F  Bb
But I followed my dreams

     Eb        D        Eb  D      Eb  D       Eb  D      C
With music I found life     Sunny      Sunny       Sunny

                             A
  My growing up would not be easy

                            F#m
Going for long walks on the heath

                         C#m
Trying to play like Jimi Hendrix

                           Em
Behind my back and with my teeth

                         A
I went to festivals and dropped out

                                   F#m
That's when I learned that I could fly

                       C#m
Sitting around an open fire

                               D
Watching the world go floating by

         G         F   Bb
With my ear to the ground

     Eb         D
The future took ages

        G       F    Bb
When it finally arrived

     Eb         D         Eb  D      Eb  D       Eb  D      C   
The world we created was       Sunny      Sunny       Sunny

Ab/C                 Bb/D 
My mother watched me changing

       C/E        E/F#
From a boy into a man

      Dm/F               Ammaj7
With spots and moods and temper tantrums,

Am               D#dim
short attention span

G
It didn't seem to matter

   Bb/D
It made me who I am

                           A
I got a job down at the warehouse

                            F#m
I worked so hard to pay the rent

                         C#m
Rehearsing almost every evening

                        Em
Trying to take another step

                          A
Along the road that I had chosen

                        F#m
The generations game of life

                         C#m
Today I'm walking by the river

                           D
Watching my children cycle by

G         F              Bb
  We came up through the pubs

     Eb          D
That heaved with our friends

              G        F   Bb
    Now it's coffee in mugs

       Eb         D         Eb  D      Eb  D       Eb  D       
While out on the Thames it's     Sunny      Sunny       Sunny

 Eb  D      Eb  D       Eb  D    C
     Sunny      Sunny       Sunny
