 About a lucky man who made the grade

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car / He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared / They'd seen his face before
Em                                                 C....
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords
[ a_day_in_the_life ]
I saw a film today oh boy / The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away / But I just had to look
Having read the book....

 Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head
E
 Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
 And looking up, I noticed I was late
E                                                          A
 Found my coat and grabbed my hat, made the bus in seconds flat
E
 Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
 And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

 Ahhh....

I heard the news today oh boy / Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small / They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn... you... on...
