A DAY IN THE LIFE
                               ( Lennon - McCartney )


   |G    Bm/F#       |Em       Em7        |C              |               |


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

C       Em+5/B         Am9
About a lucky man who made the grade

G               Bm/F#            Em     Em/D
 And though the news was rather sad

C            F             Em   Em/D
 Well I just had to la-a-a-ugh

C          F          Em
 I saw the photogra-a-aph.

G            Bm/F#         Em
 He blew his mind out in a car

C          Em+7/B           Am9
 He didn't notice that the lights have changed

G           Bm               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        Bm/F#         Em
 I saw a film today oh boy

C             Em7+5/B       Am9       piano
  The English Army had just won the war

G           Bm/F#            Em      Em/D
 A crowd of people turned away

C           F
 But I just had to look

Em        Em/D     C
   Having read the book

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

 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          |

 I read the news today oh boy

C              Em+5/B               Am9
 Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

G               Bm/F#                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 ..
