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
now they know how many holes it takes
                   C
to fill the Albert Hall
            Hmi  G   E
I'd love to turn you on.
