The Cmaj7 in the intro is played by the piano only.
The slash chords show the notes the bass is playing, and are there
to add interest for those who would like to add a bit more to a solo
performance.
Hopefully I've made a playable attempt for guitarists
to simulate the rising orchestra cacophony before the bridge, and in
the Coda. I've shortened the actual length of those bars considerably
so as not to prolong it too much.

[Verse 1]
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
I read the news today, oh, boy,
C C/B Asus2 Asus2/E Asus2/F#
About a lucky man who made the grade,
G G/A Bm Bm/D Em Em7/D
And though the news was rath - er sad,
Em7/A Em7/B C C/E F Em Em7/D
Well, I just had to laugh-------,
C C/E F Em C C/D
I saw the photograph--------!
[Verse 2]
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
He blew his mind out in a car,
C C/B Asus2 Asus2/E Asus2/F#
He didn't notice that the lights had changed,
G G/A Bm Bm/D Em Em7/D
A crowd of people stood and stared,
Em7/A Em7/B C C/E F
They'd seen his face before,
Em Em7/D C
Nobody was really sure if he was from the House of Lords!
[Verse 3]
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
I saw a film today, oh, boy,
C C/B Asus2 Asus2/E Asus2/F#
The English Army had just won the war,
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
A crowd of people turned away,
C C/E F Em Em7/D C

| / / / / | / / / / | Woke up, got out of bed,
Dsus2 Dsus2/A Dsus2 Dsus2/A
Dragged a comb across my head,
Dsus2 Dsus2/A E B7sus4 B7
Found my way downstairs, and drank a cup,
E B7sus4 B7
And, looking up, I noticed I was late, (Hah - hah - hah!)
E
Found my coat, and grabbed my hat,
Dsus2 Dsus2/A Dsus2 Dsus2/A
Made the bus in seconds flat,
Dsus2 Dsus2/A E F#m7 B7
Found my way upstairs, and had a smoke,
E F#m7 B7
And somebody spoke, and I went into a dream!

G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
I heard the news today, oh, boy,
C C/B Asus2 Asus2/E Asus2/F#
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire,
G Bm/F# Em Em7/D
And though the holes were rather small,
C C/E F
They had to count them all,
Em Em7/D C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall!
