Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church

Where a wedding has been, lives in a dream.

Em
Waits at the window, wearing a face 
                    Em/D       C               Em
That she keeps in a jar by the door, who is it for?

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

[Verse 2]

Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon
                   C                Em
That no one will hear, no one comes near.

Em               [ Em            Emadd9       Em
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night
             Em7 ]     C                  Em
When there's nobody there. What does he care?

[Chorus 2]

All the lonely people, where do they all come from?

All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried
[ Em ]           Am           Em
Along with her name, nobody came.

Em
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands
                        C6               Em
As he walks from the grave, no one was saved.

Ah,         look at all the lone - ly     peo - ple.
All the lone  -  ly peo-ple,         where do        they all come from?

Em7                 Em6                       Cmaj7/E           |  Em | Em
Ah,         look at all the lone - ly     peo - ple.              (= Coda)
