intro: G Bm Em Em7 (add D on B string) Em C..C Cmaj7 C+9 Cmaj7 (play with B)

G Bm Em Em7 Em (you can add these notes on B string-

I read the news today oh boy I'll omit them from now on)

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well I just had to laugh

C F Em Cmaj7...

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed

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

A crowd of people turned away / But I just had to look

Having read the book....

I'd love to turn.... you.... on....

(stays on Em for awhile then goes to E-major)

Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Ahhh....

I heard the news today oh boy / Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

And though the holes were rather small / They had to count them all

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

I'd love to turn... you... on...
