Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 6Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by THE BEATLES John Lennon / Paul McCartney ================================================= SPECIAL CHORD DIAGRAMS: Cadd9 = x-3-2-0-3-0 Dm/F = x-x-3-2-3-1 using fingers = ----3-2-4-1 (where 1 = index finger). Note: this variation is easier that the normal "Dm" when trying to add the "F" on the "D" string with the little finger. ================================================= [Opening Motif] (Harpsichord on original recording) e|--------0----0----------0------------| B|-----2-----------------------3--2----| G|---2------0----2-----2------------2--| D|------------------4-------3----------| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| [Verse 1] A A7 F#m Dm/F Picture yourself in a boat on a river, A A7 D F With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. A A7 F#m Dm/F Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, A A7 F#m Dm/F Dm/C A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Bb Cadd9 Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, D7 Bb Towering over your head. Cadd9 G 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, A Ahhhh, Ahhhh... [Verse 2] A A7 F#m Dm/F Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain, A A7 D F Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. A A7 F#m Dm/F Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, A A7 F#m Dm/F Dm/C That grow so incredibly high. Bb Cadd9 Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, D7 Bb Waiting to take you away. Cadd9 G D Climb in the back with your head in the clouds, and you're 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, A Ahhhh, Ahhhh... [Verse 3] A A7 F#m Dm/F Picture yourself on a train in a station, A A7 D F With plasticine porters with looking glass ties. A A7 F#m Dm/F Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, A A7 F#m Dm The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. [Chorus] (repeat & fade) 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,
