[Intro] |G Bm | Em Em7 | C | C | [Verse 1]
G           Bm             Em    Em7
 I read the news today, oh boy

C        C/B           Asus2
 About a lucky man who made the grade

G               Bm              Em   Em7
 And though the news was rather sad

C             F          Em   Em7
 Well, I just had to laugh

C          F       Em   C
 I saw the photograph
[Verse 2]
G            Bm            Em   Em7
 He blew his mind out in a car

C          C/B             Asus2
 He didn't notice that the lights had changed

G           Bm               Em      Em7
 A crowd of people stood and stared

C                F
 They'd seen his face before

Em
Nobody was really sure

   Em7                      C
If he was from the House of Lords
[Verse 3]
G        Bm             Em   Em7
 I saw a film today, oh boy

C            C/B           Asus2
 The English Army had just won the war

G           Bm            Em   Em7
 A crowd of people turned away

C           F
 But I just had to look

Em      Em7      C
 Having read the book

            | Em/F# Em/G | Em/A  Em/B | Em/C# Em/D | Em | ...
I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
[Middle 8]
     E
Woke up, fell out of bed

                         Dsus2
Dragged a comb across my head

         E                  B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

    E            B7sus4
And looking up I noticed I was late

         E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat

                        Dsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat

         E                B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

E                    B7sus4
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
[Interlude]
| C | G | D | A | E | C | G | D | A | E D C D |
(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
[Verse 4]
G          Bm            Em  Em7
I read the news today oh boy

C             C/B                 Asus2
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

G              Bm                Em    Em7
And though the holes were rather small

C           F
They had to count them all

Em                              Em7                      C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

            | Em/F# Em/G | Em/A  Em/B | Em/C Em/D | Em | ...
I'd love to turn    you    on                      (orchestral glissando)
