A Day In The Life

The Beatles

G Bm Em add7 C add maj7
           G                 Bm                   Em add7 C           Em                    Am                  add7
              I read the news today, oh boy,         about a lucky man who made the grade
           G                          Bm                      Em add7 C                F
              And though the news was rather sad,          well I just had to laugh
        Em  C add maj7   C                F                 Em   C add maj7
                                     ... 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                                      add7                                    C    add maj7
              Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords

              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
           Em          add7      C                          Bm        Em     C   C/B   Am
              Having read the book, I'd love to turn .... you .... on .... 
                                                                                  (creschendo moving up in Am position)
                     E     |  E
                                  Woke up, fell out of bed
                                                                                   D    add2 add2
                                  Dragged a combed across my head
                                                   E                               B4         B
                                  Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
                                         E                  B4                   B
                                  And looking up I noticed I was late

                         |      |                       E  (marching bass line)
                                  Grabbed 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

                                                      C     G      D      A      E C   G    D     A    E   C add2
                                                      Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh... Ahhhhh...

              I read 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
                                    Bm        Em    C   C/B   Am
                   I'd love to turn .... you .... on ....
                                                                                    (have a creschendo, end on E)
