In Penny L[B]ane there is a barber showing ph[C#m7]otographs  [F#7]
Of every h[B]ead he's had the pleasure to k[Bm7]now
And all the p[Bm6]eople that come and [Gmaj7]go stop and say [F#7sus4]hello    [F#7]
On the corner is a banker with a motor car
The little children laugh at him behind his back
And the b[Bm6]anker never wears a [Gmaj7]mac in the p[F#7sus4]ouring rain [F#7]
V[E]ery strange

Penny L[A]ane, is in my [A/C#]ears and in my e[D]yes [D/A]
T[A]here beneath the [A/C#]blue suburban sk[D]ies
I sit, and m[F#7]eanwhile 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

[B]   [C#m7]      [F#7]     [B]   [Bm7]     [Gmaj7]       [F#7sus4]       [F#7] [E] 
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 L[B]ane, is in my [B/D#]ears and in my e[E]yes
T[B]here beneath the [B/D#]blue suburban sk[E]ies [E/B]
Penny La[B]ne

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)
