In Penny Lane there is a   barber  showing photographs      
         SI        SI/LA#  SOL#m7   SI/FA# SIm7
Of every head he's had the pleasure to   know 
            SOL#m7/5-            SOL7+          FA#7/4  FA# FA#7/4 FA#
And all the people that come and go,  stop and say hello     
       SI     SI/LA# SOL#m7 SI/FA#  DO#m7  FA#7/4 FA#
On the corner is a   banker with a  motorcar,
           SI       SI/LA#    SOL#m7 SI/FA# SIm7
The little children laugh at him behind   his back
        SOL#m7/5-             SOL7+       FA#7/4  FA#  MI
And the banker never wears a mack in the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
LA                LAadd9        RE               FA#7/4     FA#
There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and mean while back

In Penny Lane there is a  fireman with an   hourglass     
           SI     SI/LA# SOL#m7  SI/FA#  SIm7
And in his pocket is a  portrait of the Queen 
            SOL#m7/5-             SOL7+        FA#7/4  FA#   FA#7/4 FA# 
He likes to keep his fire engine clean, It's a clean machine

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
          LAadd9/DO#      RE             FA#7/4    FA#
A four of fish and finger pie in summer, meanwhile back

           SI      SI/LA#  SOL#m7 SI/FA# DO#m7   FA#7/4 FA#
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
           SI       SI/LA#  SOL#m7  SI/FA# SIm7
The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
             SOL#m7/5-              SOL7+         FA#7/4 FA#   FA#7/4 FA#
And tho' she feels as if she's in a play, she is anyway
         SI       SI/LA#  SOL#m7  SI/FA# DO#m7    FA#7/4 FA#
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another  customer
           SI      SI/LA#  SOL#m7  SI/FA# SIm7
We see the banker sitting waiting  for a trend
              SOL#m7/5-     SOL7+       FA#7/4     FA# MI
And then the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain,  very strange

      LA            LAadd9/DO#     RE
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
LA                LAadd9/DO#    RE               FA#7/4     FA#

Penny Lane: Video

Penny Lane è un brano inciso dagli scarafaggi di Liverpool, noti al mondo come The Beatles, contenuto nell'album Magical Mystery Tour pubblicato nel 1967. Nono lavoro in studio per la storica band britannica, è sicuramente uno dei lavori artisticamente più elevati del loro repertorio. La canzone è scritta da Sir Paul McCartney ed è un viaggio musicale nel passato, fino ai tempi della sua adolescenza. Suoni, colori, luoghi di una periferia... tutto in forma canzone.
