 He blew his mind out in a car

 He didn't notice that the lights have changed      c     c
                                                    b  a  b  a

G           Bm/F#            Em      Em/D
 A crowd of people stood and stared

C                F
 They'd seen his face before

Em
Nobody was really sure

    Em/D                     C
 If he was from the House of Lords.

G        BmF#          Em
 I saw a film today oh boy

 A crowd of people turned away

 But I just had to look

Em        Em/D     C
   Having read the book

             Em   Em/D  N.C...........

 Woke up, fell out of bed,

                           Dadd9
 Dragged my comb across my head

          E                  F#m7/B
 Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,

     E            F#m7/B
 And looking up I noticed I was late.

          E
 Found my coat and grabbed my hat

                         Dadd9
 Made the bus in seconds flat

          E                F#m7/B
 Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,

 E                  F#m7/B
 Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.

 |C              |G           |D            |A         |E           |
 ahhhh  ah ah ah ahhh   ah ah ahhhn ah ah ah ahhhhh

 ahhhh  ah ah ah ahhh   ah ah ahhhn ah ah ah ahhhhh      e  d  c   d   g

            Bm/F#         Em
 I read the news today oh boy

C              C/B              Am9
 Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
                                piano: c  c       c
                                       b  b   a   b   a
G               BmF#              Em
 And though the holes were rather small

C            F
 They had to count them all

Em                                       Em/D             C
 Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.

             Em   Em/D...NC
 I'd love to turn you    on ..
