          G                                              Am7
Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
D7         G                                                    Gm7
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to have known,
               Gm6                             Ebmaj7
And all the people that come and go
               D7
Stop and say hello

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain…
C
Very strange

          F                                           B
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
F                                                   B
There beneath the blue suburban skies
               D7
I sit, and meanwhile back

                G                                           Am7
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
D7             G                                     Gm7
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
                Gm6                         Ebmaj7
He likes to keep his fire engine clean;
         D7
It’s a clean machine.

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

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

Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
Then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain…
Very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
There beneath the blue suburban skies…
Penny Lane.

              D7                                 G                                     Hm7   C
In Penny mean while back, Penny Lane is in my ears and in my     eyes,
G                                                C                         G
There benath the blue suburban skies, Penny Lane.
