PROPS GO TO: -

Penny Lane

(Lennon/McCartney)

The verses use a descending bass line from C to F/G that is a prominent part of this song.

C C/B C/A C/G F G

Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs

C C/B C/A C/G Cm

Of every head he's had the pleasure to know

Cm/A Ab Gsus G

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

(as above)

On the corner is a banker with a motor car

The little children laugh at him behind his back

Cm/A Ab

And the banker never wears a mac

Gsus F

In the pouring rain, very strange

Bb Bb/D Eb

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

Bb Bb/D Eb G

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

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

(trumpet solo)

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

Full of fish and finger pies in summer, meanwhile back

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

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

C C/E F

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes

C C/E F C

Wet beneath the blue suburban skies of Penny Lane
