G Bm Em Em7 C Cmaj7 C

G Bm Em
i read the news today oh boy ,
C Em Am 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

G Bm Em C Em Am Cmaj7
he blew his mind out in a car , he didn’t notice that the lights had changed
G Bm Em C F
a crowd of people stood and stared , they’d seen his face before
Em E7 C
nobody was really sure if he was from the house of lords

G Bm Em C Em Am Cmaj7
i saw a film today oh , boy; the english army had just won the war
G Bm Em C F
a crowd of people turned away , but i just had to look;
Em E7 C
having read the book . . . .

C Bm G Em E
i’d love to turn . . . . you . . . . on . . . .

E D
woke up , fell out of bed , dragged a comb across my head
E F#m7
found my way downstairs and drank a cup ,
E F#m7
and looking up , i noticed i was late
E D
found my coat and grabbed my hat , made the bus in seconds flat
E F#m7
found my way upstairs and had a smoke ,
E F#m7
and somebody spoke and i went into a dream

C G D A C G D A ahhh . . . .

E D/C D A

G Bm Em C Em Am Cmaj7
i heard the news today oh , boy; four thousand holes in blackburn , lancashire
G Bm Em C F
and though the holes were rather small , they had to count them all
Em E7 C
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the albert hall
Bm G Em E
i’d love to turn . . . you . . . on . . .

G
