[Intro]

|G Bm | Em Em7 | C | C |

* *

[Verse 1]

G           Bm             Em    Em7

 I read the news today, oh boy

C        C/B           Asus2

 About a lucky man who made the grade

G               Bm              Em   Em7

 And though the news was rather sad

C             F          Em   Em7

 Well, I just had to laugh

C          F       Em   C

 I saw the photograph

*

[Verse 2]

G            Bm            Em   Em7

 He blew his mind out in a car

C          C/B             Asus2

 He didn't notice that the lights had changed

G           Bm               Em      Em7

 A crowd of people stood and stared

C                F

 They'd seen his face before

Em

Nobody was really sure

   Em7                      C

If he was from the House of Lords

* *

[Verse 3]

G        Bm             Em   Em7

 I saw a film today, oh boy

C            C/B           Asus2

 The English Army had just won the war

G           Bm            Em   Em7

 A crowd of people turned away

C           F

 But I just had to look

Em      Em7      C

 Having read the book

            | Em/F# Em/G | Em/A  Em/B | Em/C# Em/D | Em | ...

I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
[Middle 8]

     E

Woke up, fell out of bed

                         Dsus2

Dragged a comb across my head

         E                  B7sus4

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

    E            B7sus4

And looking up I noticed I was late

         E

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

                        Dsus2

Made the bus in seconds flat

         E                B7sus4

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

E                    B7sus4

Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

[Interlude]

| C | G | D | A | E | C | G | D | A | E D C D |

(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

[Verse 4]

G          Bm            Em  Em7

I read the news today oh boy

C             C/B                 Asus2

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

G              Bm                Em    Em7

And though the holes were rather small

C           F

They had to count them all

Em                              Em7                      C

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

            | Em/F# Em/G | Em/A  Em/B | Em/C Em/D | Em | ...

I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
