Intro: 
G G Bm Bm Em Em E7 E7 C C C C

G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
I read the news today oh boy

C C C/B C/B Am7 Am7
About a lucky man who made the grade
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
And though the news was rather sad
C C F F Em Em Em7 Em7
Well I just had to laugh
C C F F Em Em C C
I saw the photograph

Verse:
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
He blew his mind out in a car
C C C C /B Am7 Am7
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
a crowd of people stood and stared
C C F F
They'd seen his face before
Em Em
Nobody was really sure
Em7 Em7 C C
If he was from the House of Lords

Verse:
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
I saw a film today oh boy
C C C C /B Am7 Am7
The English Army had just won the war
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
a crowd of people turned away
C C F F Em Em
But I just had to look
Em7 Em7 C C
Having read the book
C C C/B C/B D D C C D D
I'd love to turn you on

Bridge:
E E
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dsus2 Dsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
E E B7sus4 B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E B7sus4 -B7-
And looking up I noticed I was late -ha ha ha.-
E E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Dsus2 Dsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
E E B7sus4 B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
E E B7sus4 B7sus4
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

Interlude:
C C G G D D A A E E C C G G D D A A |E E D D C C D D|
-Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

Verse:
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
I read the news today oh boy
C C C C Am7 Am7
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
G G Bm Bm Em Em Em7 Em7
And though the holes were rather small
C C F F
They had to count them all
Em Em Em7 Em7 C C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
C C C/B C/B D D C C D D
I'd love to turn you on.

# You do not need to play the C-C/B-D-C-D sequence on the 'I'd love to turn you on' bit. I personally like to play that part like that when I'm singing while playing, because it makes it sound more complete to me. It's 100% optional.
