VERSE 3/4
G/D         G7/F      C/E       Cm/Eb
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
     G/D       G7/F      C/E       Eb
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
G/D      G7/F           C/E          Cm/Eb
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
  G/D         G7/F       | C/E | % | C | C/Bb |
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
 
 
BRIDGE 3/4
Ab                    Bb         Bb/D
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Eb       Eb/G      Ab
Towering over your head                           | 4/4 |
Bb           Bb/D          F                         C
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone
                                                   BREAK
 
CHORUS 4/4
F           Bb       C
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
F           Bb       C
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
F           Bb       C
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
|  C  | [ G/D ]
   Oh
 
 
VERSE 3/4
G/D        G7/F      C/E         Cm/Eb
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
      G/D           G7/F       C/E         Eb
Where rocking-horse people eat marshmallow pies
G/D      G7/F          C/E            Cm/Eb
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
     G/D       G7/F    | C/E | % | C | C/Bb |
That grow so incredibly high
 
 
BRIDGE
Ab                Bb          Bb/D
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Eb         Eb/G      Ab
Waiting to take you away                               | 4/4 |
Bb           Bb/D           F                             C
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone
                                                        BREAK

VERSE 3/4
G/D         G7/F      C/E        Cm/Eb
Picture yourself on a train in a station
     G/D        G7/F         C/E          | Eb | Eb   F |
With plasticine porters with looking-glass ties
G/D      G7/F       C/E          Cm/Eb
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
