  			          B                               C#m7       F#7 
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs 
          B                             Bm7 
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know 
             Bm6                 Gmaj7           F#7sus4  F#7 
And all the people that come and go stop and say hello 

On the corner is a banker with a motor car 
The little children laugh at him behind his back 
         Bm6                 Gmaj7       F#7sus4     F#7 
And the banker never wears a mac in the pouring rain 
 E 
Very strange 

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

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

B  C#m7  F#7  B  Bm7  Gmaj7  F#7sus4  F#7  E 

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 the 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 
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   E/B 
There beneath the blue suburban skies 
        B 
Penny Lane
