Penny Lane

capo 2nd fret!!



       A                              Bm7      Esus4
Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
     E    A                                  Am
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known.
            Am/F#               Am/F
And all the people that come and go
        Esus4    E   Esus4  E
Stop and say hello.


         A                       Bm7      Esus4
On the corner is a banker with a motor car.
      E       A                              Am
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
        Am/F#               Am/F
And the banker never wears a mac
        Esus4       E   D
In the pouring rain.  Very strange.


       G            G/B             C
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
  G               G/B             C
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
             E
I sit and meanwhile back,


          A                                Bm7     Esus4
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass.
    E        A                          Am
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen.
            Am/F#                 Am/F
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
       Esus4        E   Esus4   E
It's a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
 G          G/B             C
     For a fish and finger pie,
            E
In summer meanwhile back,


              A                          Bm7     Esus4
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
       E     A                             Am
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
               Am/F#                  Am/F
And though she feels as if she's in a play,
       Esus4    E   Esus4    E
She is anyway.


       A                               Bm7    Esus4
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer.
    E        A                           Am
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
              Am/F#        Am/F
And then the fireman rushes in
          Esus4       E     D
From the pouring rain.     Very strange.



       G            G/B             C
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
  G               G/B             C
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
             E
I sit and meanwhile back,


       A            A/C#            D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
  A               A/C#            D
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
             A
Penny Lane!
