Song Help Request Riding in the T.T. Races

Reviving thread...
I pass by a statue of Formby strumming an ukulele every day on my way to work - it got me thinking of this song a couple of days ago.

I reckon it's a banjolele being played in the soundtrack instead of a uke. Or at least the chords he's playing in that video aren't the same inversions as in the music you hear. (example: the first Gminor chord's got a high D in it). But hey, it's a cute little song.

I can't find the chords out there on the internet - anyone have them?
 
OK, here's what I have. Most of these chords are played using weird inversions. George doesn't help much as he's playing different chord inversions to the soundtrack, but his uke looks like it's ADF#B-tuned.


D7 / Gm

Gm
If there's one thing that I like, it's riding around on a motorbike

Eb7 / D7 / Gm
I'm a speed king when I once begin

Gm / Eb / D
I once won first prize two and six, I know all the dirt track dirty tricks

F / F7
I'm a marvel when I'm out to win

Dm / A7 / D / DM7 / D7
In a fifty mile race I am the best, I ride five miles and skid the rest

D / G6
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. races

D7 / G6
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces

E7 / A7
I've been riding all my life, I started quite small

A7 / D7
I've ridden fairy cycles, aye, and scooters and all

D7 / G6
Hear the people cheer me when they see me steering backwards

G7 / C
Down the hill I go at break-neck speed

C / Cm / G / E7
See me coming down the street with the winning post on the pillion seat

D7 / G / Eb7 / D7
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

D7 / G6
Come along and see me riding in the T.T. races

D7 / G6
Easier than hop scotch, beating all the top notch aces

E7 / A7
Once my bike was hard to ride, but I didn't mind

A7 / D7
Until I found they'd hitched a charabanc on behind

D7 / G6
Everybody's scaring, I am such a daring rider

G7 / C
My inside rattles when I go the pace

C / Cm / G / E7
My ribs begin to shake about, there's all my spare parts sticking out

D7 / G / Eb7 / D7
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race

D7 / G6
D7 / G6
E7 / A7
A7 / D7
D7 / G6
G7 / C

C / Cm / G / E7
With my gears in reverse, the other way round I'll finish first

D7 / G
So come along and see me riding in the T.T. race



May have got a couple of those wrong, please let me know what you think...
 
Those chords are more or less what I play only I like to add a G in the phrase "riding in the TT races".. like D7 //// G / G6/
