Penny Lane
(1967)

Tune down ~1/2 step

         C          C/B  Am     Am/G    Dm/F Dm      G
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs 
         C         C/B     Am  Am/G    Cm
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
            Cm/A                 A♭
And all the people that come and go
             Gsus4  G  Gsus4  G
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motor car
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
       Gsus4        G  F
In the pouring rain    very strange 

        B♭            B♭/D           E♭
  Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
  B♭              B♭/D          E♭
  Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
            G
  I sit and meanwhile back

In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
It's a clean machine

C C/B Am Am/G Dm/F Dm G

C C/B Am Am/G Cm         w/ solo trompette

Cm/A  A♭  Gsus4 G F

  Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
  Full of fish and finger pies
  In summer - meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange

  Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes 
  Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
  I sit and meanwhile back

        C             C/E            F
  Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
  C               C/E           F
  Wet beneath the blue suburban skies

                C
