[Verse 1 - Drums in]There's a

[E] wonder, take you into space
And lay you under, its loving embrace

Beatles-Penny Lane
[Verse 1 - Capo 2 - No drums - nice and slow - think show shuffle] In Penny
[A] Lane there is a
[F#m] barber showing
[D] photographs
[E7] of ev'ry
[A] head he's had the
[F#m] pleasure to have
[Am] known
And all the
[Am/F#] people that come and
[Fmaj7] go stop and say
[E7] hello (E7 figure G-2 B-2 G-2 B-0)
[Verse 2- Full drums] On the
[A] corner is a
[F#m] banker with a
[D] motor car
[E7]The little
[A] children laugh at
[F#m] him behind his
[Am] back.
(drums - drop second bass drum)
And the
[Am/F#] banker never wears a
[Fmaj7] mac in the
pou
[E7] ring rain, very
[D] strange (drums B B B then S pickup)
[Chorus] Penny
[G] Lane is in my
[G/B] ears and in my
[C] eyes.
[Trumpet line 1][G] There beneath the
[G/B] blue suburban
[C] skies
I sit and
[E7] meanwhile back
[Verse 3] In Penny
[A] Lane there is a
[F#m] fireman with an
[D] hour
glass
[E7] and in his
[A] pocket is a
[F#m] portrait of the
[Am] queen.
He likes to
[Am/F#] keep his fire engine
[Fmaj7] clean,
it's a
[E7] clean machine.

[G] Lane is in my

[Trumpet line 1][G] A four of
[G/B] fish and finger
[C] pies in summer
[E7] meanwhile back
[Verse 4] Behind the
[A] shelter in the
[F#m] middle of the
[D] roundabout
[E7]The pretty
[A] nurse is selling
[F#m] poppies from a
[Am] tray
And though she
[Am/F#] feels as if she's in a
[Fmaj7] play
She is
[E7] anyway.
[Verse 5] In Penny
[A] Lane the barber
[F#m] shaves another
[D] customer
[E7] .
We see the
[A] banker sitting,
[F#m] waiting for a
[Am] trim
And then the
[Am/F#] fireman rushes
[Fmaj7] in from the
[E7] pouring rain,
[D] very strange.
[Chorus] Penny
[G] Lane is in my
[G/B] ears and in my
[C] eyes.
[G] There beneath the
[G/B] blue suburban
[C] skies I sit
and

[Chorus 1 - to make chords more interesting can go from
G to C, C to Dm7 and D to Em7 figure]In the middle of the
[G] night I go walking in my
[G] sleep
From the mountains of
[C] faith to the river so
[D] deep
I must be looking for
[G] something, something sacred I
[G] lost
But the river is
[C] wide and it's too hard to
[D] cross
[Verse 1][Em] Even though I know the
[D] river is wide
I walk down
[C] every evening and I
[Bm] stand on the shore
[C] I try to cross to
[Bm] the opposite side
So I can
[A7] finally find out what I've been
[D] looking for
(run down - x7777x x6777x x5777x x3555x x5777x)
[Chorus 2]In the middle of the
[G] night I go walking in my
[G] sleep
Through the valley of
[C] fear to a river so
[D] deep
I've been searching for
[G] something taken out of my
[G] soul
Something I could never
[C] lose, something somebody
[D] stole
[Verse 2][Em] I don't know why I go
[D] walking at night
But now I'm
[C] tired and I don't wanna
[Bm] walk anymore
[C] I hope it doesn't take the
[Bm] rest of my life
Until I
[A7] find what it is I've been
[D] looking for
(run down)
[Pause] [Chorus 3]In the middle of the
[G] night I go walking in my
[G] sleep
Through the jungle of
[C] doubt to the river so
[D] deep
I know I'm searching for
[G] something, something so
[G] undefined
That it only can be
[C] seen by the eyes of the
[D] blind
In the middle of the
[G] night
[C] [D] [Piano bit - add 7ths - bluesy][G] [C] [D] x 2
[Verse 3][Em] Not sure about a
[D] life after this
God
[C] knows I've never been a
[Bm] spiritual man
[C] Baptized by
[Bm] fire, I wade into the
[A7] river
That is runnin' through the
[D] promised land
(run down)
[Double Pause][Chorus 4]In the middle of the
[G] night I go walking in my
[G] sleep
Through the desert of
[C] truth to the river so
[D] deep
We all end in the
[G] ocean, we all start in the
[G] streams
We're all carried a
[C] long by the river of
[D] dreams
In the middle of the
[G] night
[Backing vocal part - NO CHORDS TO BEGIN WITH - PERHAPS JUST BASS THEN CHORDS BACK IN][G]in the middle of the, I go walking in the
