Intro
G Bm Em Em7 C
G Bm Em Em7
I read the news today, oh boy,
C Cmaj7 Am9
About a lucky man who made a grade,
G Bm Em Em7
And though the news was rather sad,
C F Em Em7
Well, I just had to laugh.
C F Em C
I saw the photograph.
G Bm Em Em7
He blew his mind out in a car,
C Cmaj7 Am9
He didn't notice that the lights have changed,
G Bm Em Em7
A crowd of people stood and stared,
C F
They've seen his face before,
Em Em7 C
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords.
G Bm Em Em7
I saw a film today, oh boy,
C Cmaj7 Am9
The English army had just won the war,
G Bm Em Em7
A crowd of people turned away,
C F Em
But I just had to look,
Em7 C
Having read the book, I'd love to turn you on...
E
E
Woke up, got out of bed,
D
Dragged a comb across my head,
E B9
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
E B9 B
And looking up I noticed I was late.
E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat,
D
Made the bus in second flat,
E B9
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
E
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
