 I read the news today oh boy       About a lucky man who made the grade            
G               Bm              Em  Em7  C             F         Em
 And though the news was rather sad      Well I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car       He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G            Bm              Em    Em7  C                F    
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
G            Bm            Em  Em7    C            F          Em
A crowd of people turned away           But I just had to look     
C            F   Em
Having read the book
C            Bm       G       Am7    Em
 I'd love to turn.... you.... on....

Em (CONFUSED NOISE MOVING UP FRET BY FRET TO FINISH ON E CHORD)

E                                                    D    A  D  A  D A
 Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
E
 Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E
 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
G               Bm                 Em  Em7    C            F        Em
And though the holes were rather small       They had to count them all
Em                                                 C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
C            Bm       G       Am7    Em
I'd love to turn... you... on...
