I'm posting this song in two different versions. The First is written as the song is heard--in B and modulating to A during the chorus. The second version employs a capo to help make the chords more guitar- friendly. Technically its still in B, but the chord shapes are those of the key of A, modulating to G. B C#m7 F#7sus4 Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs F#7 B Bm Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known. Bm/G# Bm/G And all the people that come and go F#7sus4 F#7 F#7sus4 F#7 Stop and say hello. B C#m7 F#7sus4 On the corner is a banker with a motor car. F#7 B Bm The little children laugh at him behind his back. Bm/G# Bm/G And the banker never wears a mac F#7sus4 F#7 E In the pouring rain. Very strange. A A/C# D Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. A A/C# D There beneath the blue suburban skies, F# I sit and meanwhile back, B C#m7 F#7sus4 In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass. F#7 B Bm And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen. Bm/G# Bm/G He likes to keep his fire engine clean, F#7sus4 F#7 F#sus4 F#7 It's a clean machine. [horn solo] B C#m7 F#sus4 F# B Bm Bm/G# Bm/G F#7sus4 F#7 E A A/C# D Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. A A/C# D For a fish and finger pie, F# In summer meanwhile back, B C#m7 F#7sus4 Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout F#7 B Bm The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray Bm/G# Bm/G And though she feels as if she's in a play, F#7sus4 F#7 F#sus4 F#7 She is anyway. B C#m7 F#7sus4 Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer. F#7 B Bm We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim. Bm/G# Bm/G And then the fireman rushes in F#7sus4 F#7 E From the pouring rain. Very strange. A A/C# D Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. A A/C# D There beneath the blue suburban skies, F# I sit and meanwhile back, B B/Eb E Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. B B/Eb E There beneath the blue suburban skies. B Penny Lane! -------------------------------------------------------------- Version #2: capo 2nd fret!!
