Chorus:
C#m                    A
Kevin heard it on the radio
C#m                A
Hugh informed word of mouth
C#m           A
Carla read it in the news
G
Caught it all just a touch

You set the pace of what was to come
I have to carry on now that you're gone
A day in the life, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last?

Chorus

E        D               E
There's someone in our dreams
         D            E
In our preassembled dream

Lord! Dave! William!

Well, what in the world? Women in black
Don't you remember? Sonny's, Tyrone's packed
A day in the life, well, nobody laughed
Look to the days, how long can this last?

Chorus

I can't see where to worship Popeye,
love Al Green,
I can't see, I'm so young,
I'm so god damn young
