Beatles - A Day in the Life

G Bm Em Em7 C C
(intro)
G Bm Em
I read the news today, oh boy,
C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 G
about a lucky man who made the grade
G Bm Em
And thought the news were rather sad,
C F Em E?
well I just had to laugh

C F Em Cmaj7
I saw the photograph

G Bm Em
He blew his mind out in a car,
C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 G
he didn't notice that the lights had changed
G Bm Em
A crowd of people stood and stared,
C F
they'd seen his face before

Em E? C
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

G Bm Em
I saw a film today, oh boy,
C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 G
the england army had just won the war
G Bm Em
A crowd of people turned a way,
C F
but I just had to look
Em E? C
Having read the book
C Bm Em Cmaj7
I'd love to turn .... you .... on ....


E D
Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a combed across my head
E F#m7
Found my way downstairs and dranked a cup,
E F#m7
and looking up I noticed I was late
E D
Grabbed my coat, and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
E F#m7
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
E F#m7
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream

Am C G D C G D A F
Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh...

G Bm Em
I read the news today, oh boy,
C Em Am Cmaj7 Cadd9 G
four thousand holes in Blackburn Lancashire
G Bm Em
And though the holes were rather small,
C F
they had to count them all
Em E? C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
Bm G G? E
I'd love to turn .... you .... on ....
