A Day in the Life

Intro: G Bm Em Em7 C C  


C           Em            Am Am7  
 I read the news today oh boy 
F        FE            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          FE             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           FE           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 

F                 E5             
 I'd love to turn you on

A                                                   Gsus2 
 Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head 
          A                  E7sus  
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup 
    A             E7sus              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               E7sus  
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke 
    A                         E7sus  
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream 

 F C  G D     A      F C     G D      A  G  F  G 
Ah...  Ah...  Ah...   Ah...  Ah... 

C           Em             Am   Am7 
 I read the news today oh boy 
F             FE                 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. 
                   E5 
 I'd love to turnn you on.
