C#m7: x 4 6 4 5 4

D#m7: x 6 8 6 7 6

In some versions C#m7 and D#m7 are replaced by A/C# and B/D# respectively, can be played

like that. I think that the minor 7th chords sound better. For the outro play 2 semitones up.

Use B Chord = x 2 4 4 4 2 in order to have the same voicing as in the non modulated chorus A chord

Verse

In Penny

Lane there is a

barber showing

photographs

Of every

head he's had the

pleasure to have

known

And all the

people that come and

Stop and

say hello

On the corner is a

banker with a

motorcar

The little

children laugh at

him behind h

is back

And the

banker never wears a

mac

In the

pouring rain...

Very strange

Chorus

Penny

Lane is in my

ears and in my

eyes

There beneath the

blue suburban

skies

I sit, and

meanwhile back

Verse

In Penny

Lane there is a

fireman with an

hourglass

And in his

pocket is a

portrait of the

Queen.

He likes to

keep his fire engine

clean

It's a

clean mach

Chorus

Penny

Lane is in my

ears and in my

eyes

Four of

fish and finger

pies

In summer,

meanwhile back

Verse

Behind the

shelter in the

middle of a

roundabout

A pretty

nurse is selling

poppies from

a tray

And though she

feels as if she's in a

play

She is

anyway

Penny

Lane the barber

shaves another

customer

We see the

banker sitting

waiting for a

trim

Then the

fireman rushes

From the

pouring rain...

Very strange

Chorus

Penny

Lane is in my

ears and in my

eyes

Outro

Penny Lane is in my

ears and in my

eyes

There beneath the

blue suburban

skies...
