E D E D Picture yourself in a boat on a river, E D E C With tangerine trees and marmalade skies. E D E D Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly, E D C A A girl with kaleidoscope eyes. F G C F Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over your head, G D A Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone. D G A D G A Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, D G A E Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah. E D E D Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain, E D E C Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. E D E C Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers, E D C A That grow so incredibly high. F G C F Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away. G D A Climb in the back with your head in the clouds and you're gone. + REFR. E D E D Picture yourself on a train in a station, E D E C With plasticine porters with looking glass ties. E D E D Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile, E D C A The girl with kaleidoscope eyes. D G A D Lucy in the sky with diamonds, G A Lucy in the sky with diamonds, D G A E Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah, ah.
