I read the news today oh boy
C Em Am C7M Cadd9 C7M
About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em
And though the news was rather sad
C F Em C F Em C7M
Well I just had to laugh, I saw the photograph
G
He blew his mind out in a car
C G4/B Am9
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G Bm/F# Em Em/D
A crowd of people stood and stared
C F
They'd seen his face before
Em C
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
G Bm/F# Em Em/D
I saw a film today oh boy
C G4/B Am9
The English Army had just won the war
G Bm/F# Em Em/D
A crowd of people turned away
C G Em C
But I just had to look having read the book
Em9 F9 F#9
I'd love to turn you on
(on E minor for a while then goes to E major)
E D9
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
Found my coat and grabbed my hat,
D9
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 C G D A E D C D G C G D A E C G D A E D C D G E
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
G Bm/F# Em Em/D
I heard the news today oh boy
C G4/B Am9
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
G Bm/F#
And though the holes were rather small
C F
They had to count them all
Em Em/D C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
Em9 F9 F#9
I'd love to turn you on
