The Link and Coda sections are shortened, so as not
to prolong the discordant progression too long.

Intro
Verse 1
I read the
news today, oh,
boy,
About a
lucky man who
made the grade,
And though the
news was rather
sad,
Well, I
just had to laugh--
----,
I saw the
photograph--

Verse 2
He blew his
mind out in a
car,
He didn't
notice...
That the l
ights had changed,
A crowd of
people stood and
stared,
They'd seen his
face before,
nobody was really sure
...If
he was from the House of
Lords
Verse 3
I saw a
film today, oh,
boy,
The English
Army...
Had just
won the war,
A crowd of
people turned a -
way,
But I just
had to look,
...having
read the
book
[Link - Adapted for guitar]
I'd
love to ...
turn ...
you ...
on!

Woke up,... fell out of bed,
Dragged a
comb across my
head,
Found my
way downstairs and
drank a cup,
And
looking up I
noticed I was late, (
Ha- ha- hah!)
Found my
coat and grabbed my hat,
Made the
bus in seconds
flat,
Found my
way upstairs and
had a
smoke,
And
somebody spoke and I
went into a
dream...
Ah---ah! Ah,
ah! Ah - ah,
ah!
Ah -
ah,
ah!
Ah-----
ah!

Ah - ah,
ah!

ah,

Verse 4
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
[Coda - Adapted for guitar]

love
to ...
turn ...
you ...
on!

[Bridge & Coda Riff] h = Hammer-on notes
=====================================================
For the GUITAR chord box diagrams to match my
suggested choices you need to manually select the
following choice of options by clicking on the
forward/backward arrows below ten of the diagrams.
G Em7/D C/B
<2 of 27> <2 of 16> <12 of 15>
B7 E5
<2 of 26> <13 of 17>
Note that the tab has two inversions each of the
C, Em, Em/F#, Em/G and E5 chords, the varitions are
differentiated by an asterisk. Currently there is no
facility to save both variations as chord boxes, so you
will have to choose which one of each to display.
The remaining chord boxes not mentioned above can be
the default first option and don't need any reselecting.
As long as you are logged into your account,
these choices will be saved automatically for every
time you view this tab
