|C Em| Am Am7|F  |F  |


C          Em            Am    Am7
I read the news today oh boy

F        F/E          Dsus2
About a lucky man who made the grade
C              Em              Am   Am7
And though the news was rather sad
F           A#       Am    Am7
Well I just had to laugh
F         A#       Am   F
I saw the photograph


C           Em            Am   Am7
He blew his mind out in a car
F         F/E              Dsus2
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
C          Em               Am      Am7
A crowd of people stood and stared
F               A#
They'd seen his face before
Am
Nobody was really sure
   Am7                      F
If he was from the House of Lords


C       Em            Am   Am7
I saw a film today oh boy
F           F/E           Dsus2
The English Army had just won the war
C          Em            Am   Am7
A crowd of people turned away
F          A#          Am
But I just had to look
       Am7      F
Having read the book
            N.F
I'd love to turn you on


A
Woke up, fell out of bed
                         Gsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
         A                  E7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
    A            E7sus4             (E7)
And looking up I noticed I was late (ha ha ha.)
         A
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
                        Gsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
         A                E7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
    A                         E7sus4
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.


F C        G D   A      F C   G D  |A G F G|
(Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)


C          Em            Am  Am7
I read the news today oh boy
F             F/E                 Dsus2
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
C              Em                Am    Am7
And though the holes were rather small
F           A#
They had to count them all
Am                              Am7                      F
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
             N.F
I'd love to turn you on.

About this song: A Day In The Life

"A Day in the Life" is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon/McCartney. The song appears as the final track on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song includes portions originally authored independently by Lennon and McCartney, and two cacophonous, part-improvised, orchestral crescendos. Lennon was inspired by newspaper articles on the death of Tara Browne, and a civic plan to fill four thousand potholes in Blackburn.
