Chords and Lyrics
[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
| C Em | Em/D# Em/D | Em/D Em/C# |
I'd love to turn you on
| Em/C Em | Em/A# Em/A | E7 Em7 | E |
(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 B7
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.

[Verse 4]
G (Hit) Bm (Hit) 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
| C Em | Em/D# Em/D | Em/D Em/C# |
I'd love to turn you on
| Em/C Em | Em/A# Em/A | E7 Em7 | Em7 E |
