A Day In The Life

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
