Standard (EADGBE)

 Picture yourself in a boat on a river

 with tangerine trees and marmalade skies

 Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

 a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

 Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

 towering over your head.

 Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,

 and she's gone

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a-ah.

 Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

 where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers

 that grow so incredibly high.

 Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,

 waiting to take you away.

 Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,

 and you're gone.

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a-ah.

 Picture yourself on a train in a station

 With plasticine porters with looking glass ties

 Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,

 The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a-ah.

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds. A-a-ah.

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds,

 Lucy in the sky with diamonds...
