[Intro]
G Bm Em Em7 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 Em
But I just had to look
Em7 C
Having read the book
E
I'd love to turn you on
[Middle]
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 (ha ha ha.)
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
And 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
E
I'd love to turn you on.
