Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Lennon/McCartney

Signature riff:

             -|---------12------12--------------12------10\9------
             -|-----10--------------10------10----------------10--
             -|--9----------12----------11----------10------------
             -|---------------------------------------------------
             -|---------------------------------------------------
bass only -> -|--5----------3-----------2-----------1-------------


... or you may find this easier, as I do, if you have enormous
hands, because the riff requires the notes on the third string
to stay ringing as the others are being played.

             -|---------12------12--------------12------------------

Verse:
  A       A7/G        D9/F#       F
Picture yourself on a boat on a river
        A       A7/G      D9/F#      F
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
  A       A7/G          D9/F#         F
Somebody calls you you answer quite slowly
     A          A7/G       D9/F#    D   D/C
The girl with kalaidescope eyes
   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
D           (back to A chord at start of verse)
Ah...............................................
