(intro) G Bm Em Em7 (add D on B string) Em C..C Cmaj7 C+9 Cmaj7 (play with B)
                                               (you can add these notes on B string -
                                                  I'll omit them from now on)
 
G           Bm            Em Em7 Em
 I read the news today oh boy                   
C        Em            Am            Cmaj7 Cadd9 Cmaj7
 About a lucky man who made the grade
G               Bm              Em
 And though the news was rather sad
C       F                Em
 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....
 
C            Bm       Em
 I'd love to turn.... you.... on....
 
(stays on Em for awhile then goes to E-major)
 
E                                                  D
Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
         E                  B
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
    E             B
And looking up, I noticed I was late
         E                                                D
Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
         E                B
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
    E                    B
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
 
 
 C   G   D   A   E   C   G   D   A   E
 Ahhh....
 D C D G
 
 
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...
