The Beatles - Penny Lane

[verse 1]
         B               G#m            C#m         F#7
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
         B                 G#m              Bm
of ev'ry head he's had the pleasure to have known
                                 G           F#7
And all the people that come and go stop and say hello

[verse 2]
       B           G#m           C#m      F#7
On the corner is a banker with a motor car.
           B                 G#m            Bm
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
                             G          F#7           E
And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain, very strange.

[chorus]
      A             C#m            D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A                 C#m           D               F#7
There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit and meanwhile back

[verse 3]
         B               G#m             C#m        F#7        B
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hour glass and in his pocket is a
G#m             Bm
portrait of the queen.
                                 G             F#7
He likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's a clean machine.

[chorus 2]
      A             C#m            D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A                     C#m    D             F#7
  a four of fish and finger pies in summer meanwhile back

[verse 4]
           B              G#m           C#m       F#7
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
           B                G#m            Bm
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
                                      G
And though she feels as if she's in a play
       F#7
She is anyway.

[verse 5]
         B               G#m            C#m      F#7
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer.
           B               G#m           Bm
We see the banker sitting, waiting for a trim
                            G           F#7
And then the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain,
E
very strange.

[chorus]
      A             C#m            D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A                 C#m           D               F#7
There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit and meanwhile back

[outro]
B                   D#m             E
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
B                 D#m            E
There beneath the blue suburban skies.
      B
Penny Lane
