The verses use a descending bass line from C to F/G that is a prominent part of this song.
DO DO/SI DO/LA DO/SOL FA SOL
Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
DO DO/SI DO/LA DO/SOL DOm
Of every head he's had the pleasure to know
DOm/LA SOL# SOLsus SOL
And all the people that come and go, stop and say hello.
(as above)
On the corner is a banker with a motor car
The little children laugh at him behind his back
DOm/LA SOL#
And the banker never wears a mac
SOLsus FA
In the pouring rain, very strange
SIb SIb/RE MIb
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
SIb SIb/RE MIb SOL
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit and meanwhile back
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 machine
(trumpet solo)
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
Full of fish and finger pies in summer, meanwhile back
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
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies, I sit and meanwhile back
DO DO/MI FA
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
DO DO/MI FA DO
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies of Penny Lane
