Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
3   4 -5  6    -5   4  -4    4  3   4  <-3 
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
 3   4  -5  -5  4   4    4   -5 <-6
And all the people that come and go
 4   -5  <-5  4 -5
Stop and say hello

4  -5   6 -5  4 -4  4 -4   -3  3 -3 3 -2    
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
 3   4 -5    6  -5    4   -4  4   3 -3   4  <-3  
The little children laugh at him behind his back
 4  -5  -5  4   4  4   4  -5 <-5
And the banker never wears a mack
4  -5  <-5  4   -5   -5 -3    4
In the pouring rain, very- strange

-5 <-5  -6  <-5 -5 <-5  -6  <-5 -5 4  <-3 
Penny- Lane is- in my- ears and in my eyes
 -6  <-5 -5   6   -6  <-5 -5 4  <-3 
here beneath the blue suburban skies
4 -5   <-5  -5  -4    3 
I sit, and meanwhile back

3   4 -5  6    -5   4 -4  4  -4   -3  3  -3 3  -2 
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
 3  4  -5   6 -5  4 -4   4  3   -3  4   <-3  
And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen
3    4   -5  -5   4   4    4  -5  <-5 
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
 4  -5  <-5   4  -5
It's a clean machine

Penny- Lane is- in my- ears and in my eyes
 -6  7   <-7  7   -6 7  <-5 
Full of fish and finger pies
4  -5 <-5   -5  -4    3 
In summer, meanwhile back

 3  4  -5   6  -5  4  -4   4 -4  -3  3  -3  3  -2
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
 3   4 -5    6   -5  4  -4   4  3   4  <-3 <-3 
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
 3     4   -5   -5   4  4   4    4 -5 <-6
And though she feels as if she's in a play
 4  -5 <-5 4 -5
She is anyway--

 4 -5  6   -5   4 -4    4    -4 -3 3 -3 3 -2 
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
 3  4  -5   6 -5   4  -4   4   3  -3  4 <-3
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
 4   4   -5  -5 4 4   4 -5  <-5
And then the fireman rushes in-
 4   -5  <-5  4   -5   -5 -3    4
From the pouring rain, very- strange

-5 <-5  -6  <-5 -5 <-5  -6  <-5 -5 4  <-3 
Penny- Lane is- in my- ears and in my eyes
 -6  <-5 -5   6   -6  <-5 -5 4  <-3 
here beneath the blue suburban skies
4 -5   <-5  -5  -4    3 
I sit, and meanwhile back

 6 -6  7   -7 6  -6  7   -6  6  -5  4 
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes
  7    -6  6  -6   7   -6 6 -5    4  
There beneath the blue suburban skies
 7 6  7 -5 6
Penny Lane--
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
