G Bm Em Em7 Em
I read the news today oh boy
C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em
And though the news was rather sad
C F Em
Well I just had to laugh
C F Em Cmaj7…
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car / He didn’t notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared / They’d seen his face before
Em C….
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy / The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away / But I just had to look
Having read the book….
C Bm G Am7 Em E
I’d love to turn…. you…. on….
E A
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
E
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
E A
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
E
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
C G D C E C G D C
Ahhh….
E D C D G
I heard the news today oh boy / Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small / They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I’d love to turn… you… on…
