A Day In The Life Chords by The Libertines

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] I read the [Bm] news today, [Em] oh boy, _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ about a lucky [Em] man [Am] who made the _ _ grade. _ _
[G] _ _ Although [Bm] the news was rather [Em] _ _ sad, _ _ _ _
[C] _ well [F] I just had to laugh.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] I [Em] saw [F] the [Em] photograph, _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ it blew [Bm] his mind out in a [Em] car. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ He didn't [Em] notice that the [Am] lights had changed. _ _ _
[G] _ A crowd of [Bm] people stood [Em] and stared.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ They'd seen [F] his face [Em] before.
Nobody was really sure [E] if he was in the house [C] or not. _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ I saw [Bm] a film today, [E] oh boy.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ The [Em] English army had [Am] just won the war. _ _ _
_ [G] _ A crowd [Bm] of people turned [Em] away.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ But I [F] just had to [B] laugh.
[Em] _ _ Having [D] _
read, [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'd love to [F#] _ _
[G] turn you _ [A] _ _
[E] on.
_ [B] The best thing that I [E] really used to like was when you did go into a new song to actually hear either John or [C] Paul play [D] it.
_ [E] To be able to have [Bm] that and go through [Em] that again, you just can't [Am] buy that.
It was really sort of [Em] crafting the tonal [C] qualities of things to blend [Em] and [Am] change.
All you could do was [E] slow it down, speed [Em] it up, _ put [G#] tape back on [D] it, or [A#] EQ it.
[B] Because there's no [C] gimmick boxes to [C#] plug in, [D] we had to [E] figure it out ourselves. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Woke up, fell out of bed, _ dragged a comb across [A] my head.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _
Found my way downstairs [E] [B] and drank a cup.
[E] _ Looking up, [B] I noticed I was late.
_ _ [E] Found my comb and grabbed my hat.
_ Made the bus and took [A] a flight. _ _ _ _ _
[E] Found my way upstairs [F#m] and had a smoke. _
[C#m] Somebody spoke and [F#m] I went into a [B] dream.
[C] And _ I, _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ I, [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
I, _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ I read the [Bm] news today, [Em] oh boy.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [C] _ Four thousand [Em] holes in blackboard [Am] like a _ ship.
_ _ [G] _ _ Though [Bm] the holes were [Em] rather small, _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ they had to [F] count them all.
[Em] Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the hour.
We [C] _ want _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] to _ turn [G] _ you _ [Am] _
_ on.
[B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [A] _ [E] It was a mammoth task, [F] covering [B] some of the finest [Cm] songs [E] ever [Fm] written [A#] and recorded.
[G#m] To those [C] who were brave enough to take on [G#] the challenge,
[D] they've [A#] secured themselves their [B] own [C] little piece of [C#m] history.
_ [D] To [D#] them, we say thank you. _
