3 -4  4 -4 -3  3  -3   2   -4   -4
About a lucky man who made the grade
-4    -5   -5   6   -4  -5  6  -4
And though the news was rather sad
 3  -4  4   -4  -3   3 
Well I just had to laugh
3 -4   4   -4 -3  3
I saw the photograph
-4  -5  -4   6   -4  -5 6 -4
He blew his mind out in a car
3  -4  4  -4 -3   3   -3    2    -4    -4
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
-4 -5   -5  6 -4   -5    6    -4
A crowd of people stood and stared
  3     -4   4   -4  -3  3
They'd seen his face before
-4 <-3 -4 -3  -4 -3   -4
No--body  was really sure
-3 -4 -3   -4  -3   -4   6    7
If he was from the House of Lords
-4 -5 -4  6   -4 -5 6  -4
 I saw a film today oh boy
 3  -4  4  -4 -3  3   -3   2  -4  -4
The English Army had just won the war
-4 -5   -5  6 -4   -5    6 -4
A crowd of people turned away
 3 -4  4   -4  -3  3
But I just had to look
 -4 4   -4   6   7
Having read the book
 6   7   6  -4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 4
I'd love to turn---------------

Woke up, fell out of bed
  -4    3  -4   <3 2  -1  2
Dragged a comb across my head
 <3   -3 -4   -4   -4   <3   -3  <-2 <-2 
Found my way downstairs and drank  a cup
 -4 -4 -4 <3 -3 <-2 <-2 <-2 <-2 
Looking up I noticed  I was late
 -4   <3  -4  <3    -4    3  -4
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
 -4   3  -4  <3  6 -5    2
Made the bus in seconds flat
  <3  -3 -4   -4 -4   <3  -3 <-2  <-2
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
-2  -4 -4 -4  -4   <3  3  -3  <-2 <-2 <-2  <-2
And somebody spoke and I went  in-to   a  dream

I read the news today oh boy
 3    -4   4   -4   -3   3   -3    2 -4 -4
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
-4    -5   -5    6    -4  -5 6    -4
And though the holes were rather small
 3   -4  4   -4    -3   3
They had to count them all
-4  <-3   -4   3 -4 -3  -4
Now they know how many holes 
-3  -4   -3  -4  -3  -4  6   7
it takes to fill the Albert Hall
 6   7   6  -4 4 -4 4 -4 4 -4 4
I'd love to turn---------------

you----------------
