[Intro]
|C Em | Am Am7 | F | F |
 
 
[Verse 1]
C           Em             Am    Am7
 I read the news today, oh boy
F        F/E           Dsus2
 About a lucky man who made the grade
C               Em              Am   Am7
 And though the news was rather sad
F             A#         Am   Am7
 Well, I just had to laugh
F          A#      Am   F
 I saw the photograph
 
 
[Verse 2]
C            Em            Am   Am7
 He blew his mind out in a car
F          F/E             Dsus2
 He didn't notice that the lights had changed
C           Em               Am      Am7
 A crowd of people stood and stared
F                A#
 They'd seen his face before
Am
Nobody was really sure

   Am7                      F
If he was from the House of Lords
 
 
[Verse 3]
C        Em             Am   Am7
 I saw a film today, oh boy
F            F/E           Dsus2
 The English Army had just won the war
C           Em            Am   Am7
 A crowd of people turned away
F           A#
 But I just had to look
Am      Am7      F
 Having read the book
            | Am/B Am/C | Am/D  Am/E | Am/F# Am/G | Am | ...
I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
 
 
[Middle 8]
     A
Woke up, fell out of bed
                         Gsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
         A                  E7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
    A            E7sus4
And looking up I noticed I was late
         A
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
                        Gsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
         A                E7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
A                    E7sus4
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
 
 
[Verse 4]
C          Em            Am  Am7
I read the news today oh boy
F             F/E                 Dsus2
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
C              Em                Am    Am7
And though the holes were rather small
F           A#
They had to count them all
Am                              Am7                      F
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
            | Am/B Am/C | Am/D  Am/E | Am/F Am/G | Am | ...
I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
