 In Penny LBane there is a barber showing phC♯m7otographs F♯7

 Of every hBead he's had the pleasure to kBm7now

 And all the pBm6eople that come and G7Mgo stop and say F♯7sus4hello F♯7

On the corner is a banker with a motor car

The little children laugh at him behind his back

 And the bBm6anker never wears a G7Mmac in the pF♯7sus4ouring rain F♯7

 VEery strange

 Penny LAane, is in my A/C♯ears and in my eDyes D/A

 TAhere beneath the A/C♯blue suburban skDies

 I sit, and mF♯7eanwhile 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

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

 Penny LBane, is in my B/D♯ears and in my eEyes

 TBhere beneath the B/D♯blue suburban skEies E/B

NOTE: "Penny Lane is a bus roundabout in Liverpool, and there

is a barber's shop showing photographs of every head he's had

the pleasure to know. Well, no, that's not true, they're just

photographs of hairstyles, but all the people who come and go,

stop and say hello. There is a bank on the corner, so we made

up the part about the banker in his motor car. It's part fact,

part nostalgia, for a place, which is a great place, with its

blue suburban skies, as we remember it, and it's still there.

We put in a joke or two, 'fish and finger pie'. The women

would never dare say that, except to themselves. Most people

wouldn't hear it, but 'finger pie' is just a nice little joke

for the Liverpool lads who like a bit of a smut." (Paul

McCartney)
