Intro: G Bm Em Em7 Em C C7M C9 C7M 

G           Bm            Em Em7 Em  
I read the news today oh boy 
C        Em            Am            C7M   C9add 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
