Penny Lane (midi)

 

                      G                    Em                      Am              -D7

1. In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

                     G                        Em              Gm

    of every head he's had the pleasure to know.

                                                         Eb                 D7          - C

    And all the people that come and go stop and say hello.

                 G              Em                  Am           - D7

    On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,

                     G                      Em                    Gm

     the little children laugh at him behind his back.

                                                       Eb              D7                 C

    And the banker never wears a "mac" in the pouring rain, very strange.

                 F                                            Bb

    Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,

      F                                                   Bb                   D7

    there beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back

 

                      G                    Em                    Am           -D7

2. In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass,

                       G             Em                   Gm

    and in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen,

                                                        Eb              D7                    - C

    he likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's a clean machine.

                 F                                            Bb

    Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes,

     F                                           Bb                             D

    full of fish and finger pies in summer, meanwhile back again....

 

                          G                Em             Am            - D7

3. Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout,   

                      G                     Em                   Gm

    the pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray.

                                                           Eb               D7

     And tho' she feels as if she's in a play, she is anyway.

                     G                       Em                    Am           - D7

    In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,  

                        G                   Em              Gm

    we see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.

                                                  Eb                   D                  C

    And then the fireman rushes  in   from the pouring rain, very strange.

                F                                           Bb

    Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes,

      F                                                  Bb                     D

    there beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back.

                 G                                          Bb

    Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes,

       F                                                  Bb

    there beneath the blue suburban skies,

                 F

    Penny Lane.
