    G - Bm - Em        - C ~

 

   G                  Bm                   Em   - G

1.    I read the news today, oh boy,

C              Em                     Am           

    about a lucky man who made the grade,

G                          Bm                      Em  - G

    and though the news was rather sad,

C                    F           - Em    C                   F       - Em     - C

    well, I just had to la…ugh,     I saw the photogr…aph.

 

   G                     Bm               Em - G

2.   He blew his mind out in a car,  

C                Em                 Am           

    he didn't notice that the lights had changed.

G                    Bm                       Em     - G

    A crowd of people stood and stared,  

C                            F               

     they'd seen his face before,

    Em                                    G                                         C

    nobody was really sure, if he was from the House of Lords.

 

   G            Bm                  Em  - G

3.   I saw a film today, oh boy,  

C                   Em                   Am        

    the English Army had just won the war.

G                    Bm                    Em - G

    A crowd of people turned away,  

C                 F                

    but I just had to look,

Em                          C                      Bm        G       Am - Em - E ~ ~

    having read the book, I'd love to turn - - you - - on.

 

               E                                                                          A

    Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head.

                      E                              B7

    Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,

             E                 B7

    and looking up, I noticed I was late.

                      E                                                                                A

    Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat.

 

 

 

 

 

                       E                        B7

    Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,

            E                                   B7

    and somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

 

     C          G          D         A   - E       

    Ah, ahaha, ahaha, ahaha.       

     C          G          D         A   - E - DC - DG

    Ah, ahaha, ahaha, ahaha.

 

                         Bm                   Em - G

4.   I heard the news today, oh boy,  

C                         Em                         Am        

    four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

G                          Bm                           Em - G

    And though the holes were rather small,  

C                       F               

    they had to count them all,

    Em                                                  G                                C

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

                    Bm        G       Am   - Em - E

    I'd love to turn - - you - - on.
