Verse 1
E F# B
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
E F# B
Of every head he’s had the pleasure to have known
E F#
And all the people that come and go
B
Stop and say hello
Chorus
E F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
B
The little children laugh at him behind his back
E F#
And the banker never wears a mac
B
In the pouring rain, very strange
Verse 2
E F# B
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
E F# B
There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit
E
And meanwhile back
F# B
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
E F# B
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen
E F# B
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
E F#
It’s a clean machine
Chorus
E F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
B
The little children laugh at him behind his back
E F#
And the banker never wears a mac
B
In the pouring rain, very strange
Verse 3
E F# B
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
E F# B
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
E F#
And then the fireman rushes in
B
From the pouring rain, very strange
Chorus
E F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
B
The little children laugh at him behind his back
E F#
And the banker never wears a mac
B
In the pouring rain, very strange
Bridge
G#m F# E
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
G#m F# E
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies
G#m F# E
I sit and meanwhile back
Verse 4
E F# B
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
E F# B
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
E F#
And then the fireman rushes in
B
From the pouring rain, very strange
Chorus
E F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
B
The little children laugh at him behind his back
E F#
And the banker never wears a mac
B
In the pouring rain, very strange
Practice tip: Master the E-F#-B progression before adding the lyrics, as it forms the backbone of the song. The G#m-F#-E bridge section requires a quick, smooth shift.
