Penny Lane

1. In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

of every head he's had the pleasure to know

and all the people that come and go

G7sus G7 G7sus G7

stop and say hello.

2. 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 very strange.

R1: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

there beneath the blue suburban skies

I sit and meanwhile back.

3. In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass

and in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen

he likes to keep his fire engine clean

it's a clean machine.

R2: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

full of fish and finger pies

in summer meanwhile back.

4. Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout

the pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray

and though she feels as if she's in a play

she is anyway.

5. 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.

R1: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes...

R3: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

there beneath the blue suburban skies,

Penny Lane ...
