A day in the life

G          Hmi           Emi 
I read the news today oh boy 
C       Emi           Ami 
about a lucky man who made the grade 
G              Hmi             Emi 
and though the news was rather sad 
C           F      Emi 
well I just had to laugh 
C         F     Emi 
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 
Emi 
nobody was really sure 
                            C 
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 
Emi 
having read the book 
            Hmi  G   Emi 
I'd love to turn you on. 
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 
somebody spoke and I went into a dream. 
I read the news today oh boy 
four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire 
and though the holes were rather small 
they had to count them all 
Emi                                                      C 
now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall 
            Hmi  G   E 
I'd love to turn you on.
