Intro:  Am  G  (x4)

Verse:    Am      G          Am     G      Am   G    Am  G 
                I fell into your lonely room today

                Am           G        Am       G      Am   G    Am  G
                But I'd forgotten what I came to say,

Chorus: G                                        
                Wished I'd been somewhere else instead

                Dm                                           Am
                A place to get warm, and a place to get fed.


                Am             G           Am    G                 Am   G

                Oh what a way for us to spend the day.


Am G (x4) under first riff below 


                Am          G        Am         G  Am               G
Am   G
                Happy day, oh happy day, come to me my desire.

                Am           G      Am         G                 Am   G
Am    G        
                Come out, oh come out, you're the fuel  to my fire.


Chorus: G 
                Wished I'd been somewhere else instead,

               Dm                                Am                 
                A place to get warm, and a place to get fed.


                Am              G          Am    G                 Am    
                Oh what a way for us to spend the day,

                Am              G          Am    G         Am         G
                Oh what a way for us to spend the day, the day, the day, the
day . . .

These chords seem right to me.  On one guitar it sounds O.K. to play at
"and a place to get fed" the Am with the G string open, then covering at the
second fret, completing the chord--that is from (002010) to (002210).  For
the e string riff it also sounds good at times to begin the riff by sliding
up to the 5th fret (but that's just my opinion).
