I read the news today  - Oh boy

About a lucky man      - Who made the grade

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

A crowd of people      - Stood and stared

They'd seen his face before - Nobody was really sure

If he was from the House of Lords    ╔═════════════╗

I saw a film today     - Oh boy      ║   A Day in  ║

The English Army - Had just won the war  the Life  ║

A crowd of people      - Turned away ║ The Beatles ║

But I just had to look - Having read the book ═════╝

Woke up, fell out of bed          C C  C Bb  -  Bb

Dragged a comb across my head     C G7 C G7 - (G7/…)

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup

And looking up, I noticed I was late (uh x4)

Found my coat and grabbed my hat             [Intro]

Made the bus in seconds flat             D# Gm Cm Cm7

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke    G# G#  G#  G#

Somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today - Oh boy           [Verse] (G#)

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         [Glissando]
