In some versions C#m7 and D#m7 are replaced by A/C# and B/D# respectively, can be played 
like that.
I think that the minor 7th chords sound better.

[Verse]

B                     G#m7           C#m7       F#
Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
         B                 G#m7          Bm7
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known
            G#m7        G
And all the people that come and go
         F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
Stop and say hello

B                  G#m7          C#m7       F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
           B                 G#m7        Bm7
The little children laugh at him behind his back
        G#m7                 G
And the banker never wears a mac
       F#
In the pouring rain...
E
Very strange

[Chorus]

A                   C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A                 C#m7         D
There beneath the blue suburban skies
                F#
I sit, and meanwhile back

[Verse]

B                        G#m7            C#m7       F#
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
           B           G#m7            Bm7
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
            G#m7                 G
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
       F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
It's a clean machine

*Those notes sound cool if produced using a half step bend

[Chorus]

A                   C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A       C#m7            D
Four of fish and finger pies
           F#
In summer, meanwhile back

[Verse]

B                         G#m7        C#m7       F#
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
         B                G#m7        Bm7
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
               G#m7                   G
And though she feels as if she's in a play
       F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
She is anyway

B                     G#m7           C#m7       F#
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
           B              G#m7       Bm7
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
         G#m7           G
Then the fireman rushes in
         F#
From the pouring rain...
E
Very strange

[Chorus]

A                   C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A                 C#m7          D
There beneath the blue suburban skies
                F#
I sit, and meanwhile back

[Final Chorus]
2 semitones up. Use B Chord = x 2 4 4 4 2 in order to have
the same voicing as in the non modulated chorus A chord

B                   D#m7           E
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
B                 D#m7          E
There beneath the blue suburban skies...
        B
Penny Lane.
