It was twenty years ago today
         C7                        G7
Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play
             G7                  A7
They've been going in and out of style
            C7                    G7
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile
   A7
So may I introduce to you
    C7
The act you've known for all these years

I don't really wanna stop the show

But I thought you might like to know
         G7                    A7
That the singer's gonna sing a song
       C7                     G7

***Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds***


[Intro]
A    A/G    A/F#   A/F

A           A/G       A/F#      A/F
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
     A         A/G       A/F#      A/F
with tangerine trees and marmalade skies
A              A/G      A/F#         A/F
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
  A            A/G       Dm    
a girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Bb                    C
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
F                  Bb
towering over your head.
C                          G
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
          D
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. Ah.


A          A/G       A/F#        A/F
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
      A             A/G        A/F#        F
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
A        A/G           A/F#           A/F
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
     A       A/G        F
that grow so incredibly high.

Bb                C
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
F                   Bb
waiting to take you away.
C                           G
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
           D
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. Ah.

A          A/G       A/F#        A/F
Picture yourself on a train in a station
      A             A/G        A/F#        F
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
A        A/G           A/F#           A/F
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
     A       A/G        F
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes


[Chorus]
G           C        D
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
G           C        D
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
G           C        D         A
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Ah.

G           C        D
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
G           C        D
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
G           C        D         A
Lucy in the sky with diamonds. Ah.

    G             C                 G           
The teachers that taught me weren't cool  (No, I can't complain)
       G          C     G           C
You're holding me down, turning me around

Filling me up with your rules

It's getting better since you've been mine 

  G             C           G 
I used to be an angry young man
   G         C           G   
Me hiding me head in the sand
    G           C      G       C
You gave me the word I finally heard
    G         C           G
I'm doing the best that I can 


[Chorus]
     C                         F

It's getting better all the time, better, better, better

   G         C           G
I used to be cruel to my woman   
G              C                       G                                   
I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
G         C            G           C
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
G                 C           G  
And I'm doing the best that I can 
 
     C                         F
I've got to admit it's getting better
         Em             F

***Fixing A Hole***

    F        C              F         C
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and
Fm7                Fm6                 Fm7    Fm6  ( C G# F D# D )
stops my mind from wandering  where it will-- go

    F           C           F              C
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door and
Fm7               Fm6                Fm7     Fm6  ( C G# F D# D )
kept my mind from wandering where it will -- go                  And it

F              C             F         C                F
really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right, where I belong
          C         F
I'm right where I belong
C              G              C            G
See the people standing there who disagree and never win and
C               G               C
wonder why they don't get in my door 

    F            C         F        C   
I'm painting the room in a colorful way and 
Fm7               Fm6                 Fm7    Fm6  ( C G# F D# D )   
when my mind from wandering, where it will go                    And it

F              C             F         C                F
really doesn't matter if I'm wrong I'm right, where I belong
          C         F
I'm right where I belong
C            G              C            G     
Silly people run around who worry me and never ask me
C        G                 C
why they don't get past my door 

    F          C          F         C        Fm7               
I'm taking the time for a number of things that weren't important 
Fm6             Fm7      Fm6  (C-G#-F-D#-D)
yesterday and I still   go

    F        C               F        C   
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and 
Fm7               Fm6            Fm7        Fm6  ( C G# F D# D )  
stops my mind from wandering, where it will go

Standing alone at the top of the stairs,

She breaks down and cries to her husband Daddy our baby's gone.

Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly?

***Within You Without You***

(This song is done with the sitar, but sounds the best to me over a C chord. 
There are sitar-translated tabs on UG, but acoustically, 
I think it sounds better just strumming a C and singing over it.)

C
We were talking about the space between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you

We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you

filling in a ticket in her little white book

In a cap he looked much older, and the bag across her shoulder

made her look a little like a military man

Lovely Rita meter maid may I enquire discreetly

told her I would really like to see her again
D                G             C                F

sitting on the sofa with a sister or two

    D            C     G     D                    A
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid, where would I be without you?

***A Day In The Life***


[Intro]
G  Bm  Em  Em7   C   C 

G          Bm            Em    Em7
I read the news today oh boy
C        C/B          Asus2
About a lucky man who made the grade
G              Bm              Em   Em7
And though the news was rather sad
C           F       Em    Em7
Well I just had to laugh
C         F       Em   C
I saw the photograph

G           Bm            Em   Em7
He blew his mind out in a car
C         C/B              Asus2
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
G          Bm               Em      Em7
A crowd of people stood and stared
C               F
They'd seen his face before
Em
Nobody was really sure
   Em7                      C
If he was from the House of Lords

G       Bm            Em   Em7
I saw a film today oh boy
C           C/B           Asus2
The English Army had just won the war
G          Bm            Em   Em7
A crowd of people turned away
C          F          Em
But I just had to look
       Em7      C
Having read the book
            
I'd love to turn you on



E
Woke up, fell out of bed
                         Dsus2
Dragged a comb across my head
         E                  B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
    E            B7sus4             (B7)
And looking up I noticed I was late (ha ha ha.)
         E
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
                        Dsus2
Made the bus in seconds flat
         E                B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
    E                         B7sus4
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.


[Interlude]
C   G   D   A   E   C   G   D   A    E D C D
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

G          Bm            Em  Em7
I read the news today oh boy
C             C/B                 Asus2
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
G              Bm                Em    Em7
And though the holes were rather small
C           F
They had to count them all
Em                              Em7                      C
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
             
I'd love to turn you on.
