G Bm Em
I read the news today, oh boy
C Em A Em
About a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em G
And though the news was rather sad
C F Em G
Well, I just had to laugh
C F Em C
I saw the photograph
G Bm Em G
He blew his mind out in a car
C Em A E
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G Bm Em G
A crowd of people stood and stared
C F
They'd seen his face before
Em G
Nobody was really sure he was from the House of Lords
G Bm E, G
I saw a film today, oh boy
C Em E Am
The English army had just won the war
G Bm Em G
A crowd of people turned away
C F
But I just had to look
Em G C
Having read the book
C G Am Em C
I'd love to turn you on
E
Woke up, fell out of bed
D
Dragged my fingers through my dreads
E B
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E B
And looking up, I noticed I was late
E
I found my coat and grabbed my hat
D
I made the bus in seconds flat
E B
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
E B
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
D A
(Aaaaah!) (Aaaah!)
G Bm Em
I read the news today, oh boy
C Em A Em
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
G Bm Em G
And though the holes were rather small
C F Em G
They had to count them all
Em G
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on
