Lucy in the sky with diamonds Beatles

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS - The Beatles

Main riff goes like this:

A A-7 D D/F

I---------------------------I---------------------------I

I-----------17------17------I----------17-----15p14-----I

I-------14--------------14--I------14---------------14--I

I---14----------17----------I--16----------15-----------I

I---------------------------I---------------------------I

I---------------------------I---------------------------I

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

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head

(slow bend)

eI-------------------------------------------I----------------------------I

bI-------------------------------------------I----------------------------I

gI--5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w---5^1/2--5^w-5^w-I-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w-5\3I

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone

eI---------------------------------------------------------I--------------I

bI---------------------------------------------------------I--------------I

gI--5^w-5^w--5^w--5^w--5^w--5^w-5^w-5^w-5^w--5^w---5---4---I--2-----------I

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

G C D D ---> A

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

To make D/F chord:

I-----0----I

I-----3----I

I-----2----I

I-----3----I

I-----x----I

I-----x----I

^w - means whole bend

^1/2 - means half bend

------------------------------------------

cut here

------------------------------------------

Here is how I play it : (not like the above)

|--------12-------12-----------12---------9-8-------|

|----10----------------9-----------9-----------9----|

|-9-----------12----------10-----------9------------|

|---------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------|

I think that's right. It's off the top of my head,

no guitar in front of me.

Good luck!

LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS- The Beatles

(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

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

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

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 ...CHORUS TWICE
