I saw the	photogra	ph

G	Bm	Em
He blew his	mind out in a c	ar

C	Em	Am	Cmaj7
He didn’t	notice that the	lights had changed

G	Bm	Em
A crowd of peop	le stood and sta	red

C	F
They’d seen	his face before,

Em	Em7	C
Nobody was really sure if	he was from the house of	lords.

G	Bm	Em
I saw a fil	m today oh, boy

C	Em	Am	Cmaj7
The English	army had just	won the war

G	Bm	Em
A crowd of	people turned	away

But I just	had a look

Em	Em7	C
Having	read the	book,

C	Bm	G	Em
I’d love to	turn...	you...	on...
