Chords, Guitar Tablature & Lyrics
____________________________________________________________________________________
I'm going to show you the chords & the tab - you can take it
from there.
By the way, I interpreted these chords from listening to the
recording.
I did not use any other written music as an aid in writing the tab
presented on this page.
If you think that I have made a mistake, please let me know about it
by dropping me a quick note.

(INTRO)
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
D D/C D/B D/Bb
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
D D/B D/Bb D/C
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Bb Cadd9 Bb Cadd9
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head
Bb Cadd9 D
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone
CHORUS:
G C D
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
G C D
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
G C D
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (ahhhh)
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
D D/B D/Bb D/C
That grow so incredibly high
Bb Cadd9 Bb Cadd9
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore waiting to take you away
Bb Cadd9 D
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone
CHORUS
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Picture yourself on a train in a station
D D/C D/B D/Bb
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
D D/C D/B D/Bb
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
D D/C D/Bb
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
CHORUS

________________________________
Disclaimer
The D D/C D/B D/Bb chord names are not technically correct -
the song is easier to play if you think of these chords being
related
this way. The D chord is a D chord - as for the rest, I have no
idea.
________________________________
Note
The verses in this song are supposed to be in the key of A - I
have written them in
the key of D. If you want to play the verses in the original key of A
- put a capo on
the 7th fret. Of course you need to adjust your chords for the
chorus!

I hope you enjoyed playing this.
Remember, that by learning this song, you are helping
to preserve the music of John Lennon & Paul McCartney.
Thanks for stopping by - steve
