Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
(Lennon/McCartney)
play this part with riff
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
Fmaj7 (Dm7 C7sus) (optional chords)
A girl with caleidoscope eyes
Bb C
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
F Bb
Towering over your head
C G D7 Em7 D
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone
G C D
CHORUS: Lucy in the sky with diamonds
G C D
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
G C D D A
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ahhhhh
Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone ...
CHORUS
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with caleidoscope eyes...

These are just permutations of an A chord so you could play this down
on the second fret if you have an acoustic guitar. On electric, this riff
sounds really good when it sustains.
Follow the pattern or play the chords for the verse:
A A-7 D D/F
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
A A-7 D D/F ---> G
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
A A-7 D D/F
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A A-7 F#m ---> Dm ---> C
A girl with kaleidiscope eyes
PRECHORUS: Bb C F Bb
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head
(slow bend)

g|--5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w---5^1/2--5^w-5^w-|-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5\3|

I think that's right. It's off the top of my head,
no guitar in front of me.
Good luck!
Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstyle,
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes.
