          B                G#m7           C#m7        F#7
In Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs
         B                 G#m7          Bm
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
            Bm/G#                Bm/G         F#7sus4   F#7  F#7sus4  F#7
And all the people that come and go, stop and say hello
       B           G#m7          C#m7      F#7
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
           B                 G#m7           Bm
And little children laugh at him behind his back
        Bm/G#                Bm/G       F#7sus4  F#7  E
And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain, very strange

      A             A/C#           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A               A/C#          D                F#7
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit and meanwhile back

         B                 G#m7            C#m7        F#7
In Penny Lane, there is a fireman with an hourglass
            B           G#m7            Bm
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
            Bm/G#                  Bm/G          F#7sus4   F#7  F#7sus4  F#7
He likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's a clean machine

      A             A/C#           D
Penny Lane, is in my ears and in my eyes
A           A/C#            D                F#7
 A four of fish and finger pies, in summer, meanwhile back

             B             G#m7        C#m7        F#7
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
          B                G#m7            Bm
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
                Bm/G#                   Bm/G       F#7sus4   F#7  F#7sus4  F#7
And though she feels as if she's in a play, she is anyway
      B                G#m7            C#m7        F#7
Penny Lane, the barber shaves another customer
           B               G#m7           Bm
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
              Bm/G#          Bm/G        F#7sus4   F#7 E
And then, the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain, very strange

      A             A/C#           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A                 A/C#          D                F#7
There beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit and meanwhile back
      B             B/D#           E
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
B                 B/D#          E                 B
There beneath the blue suburban skies, Penny Lane
