[Intro]
It was twenty years ago today
Sergeant Pepper taught the band
to play
They've been going in and out of
style
But they're guaranteed to raise
a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all
these years
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's
Club Band
[Trumpet Solo]
Chorus
We're Sergeant Pepper's Lonely
Heart's Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's
Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Bridge
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely
Heart's Club Band
It's wonderful to be here
It's certainly a thrill
You're such a lovely audience
We'd like to take you home with
us
We'd love to take you home
I don't really wanna stop the
show
But I thought you might like to
know
That the singer's gonna sing a
song
And he wants you all to sing
along
So may I introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's
Club Band
C7 (Switch into "With A Little Help")
--------------------------------------------------------
***With A Little Help From My Friends***
Billy--------------------Shears
What would you think if I sang
out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out
on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing
you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of
key.
Chorus
I get by with a little help from
my friends,
I get high with a little help
from my friends,
Going to try with a little help
from my friends.
What do I do when my love is
away.
(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the
day
(Are you sad because you're on
your own)
Chorus
I get by with a little help from
my friends,
I get high with a little help
from my friends,
Hm Gonna to try with a little
help from my friends.
Bridge
Do you need anybody,
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love.
Would you believe in a love at
first sight,
(Yes I'm certain that it happens
all the time.)
What do you see when you turn
out the light,
(I can't tell you, but I know
it's mine.)
Chorus
I get by with a little help from
my friends,
I get high with a little help
from my friends,
Hm Gonna to try with a little
help from my friends.
Bridge 2
Do you need anybody,
I just need somebody to love,
Could it be anybody,
Oh I want somebody to love.
Chorus
Oh I get by with a little help
from my friends,
Gonna try with a little help
from my friends.
Oh I get high with a little help
from my friends,
Outro
Yes I get by with a little help
from my friends, With a little
help from my

***Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds***
Intro
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
Chorus
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah.
Follow her down to a bridge by a
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
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah.
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 the kaleidoscope
eyes
Chorus
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds,
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds.
Ah.

***Getting Better***
[Intro] Fadd9
It's getting better all the time
I used to get mad at my school
(No, I can't complain)
The teachers that taught me
weren't cool (No, I can't
complain)
You're holding me down, turning
me around
Filling me up with your rules
Chorus
I've got to admit it's getting
better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting
better
It's getting better since you've
been mine
I used to be an angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word I finally
heard
I'm doing the best that I can
Chorus
I've got to admit it's getting
better
A little better all the time
I have to admit it's getting
better
It's getting better since you've
been mine
Getting so much better all the
time
It's getting better all the
time, better, better, better
It's getting better all the
time, better, better, better
I used to be cruel to my woman
I beat her and kept her apart
from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing
my scene
And I'm doing the best that I
can
I've got to admit it's getting
better
A little better all the time (it
can t get no worse)
I have to admit it's getting
better
It's getting better since you've
been mine
Getting so much better all the
time
It's getting better all the
time, better, better, better
It's getting better all the
time, better, better, better
Getting so much better all the
time
----------------------------------------------------------------
***Fixing A Hole***
I'm fixing a hole where the rain
gets in and
stops my mind from wandering
where it will-- go
I'm filling the cracks that ran
through the door and
kept my mind from wandering
where it will -- go
And it
really doesn't matter if I'm
wrong I'm right, where I belong
I'm right where I belong
See the people standing there
who disagree and never win and
wonder why they don't get in my
door
I'm painting the room in a
colorful way and
when my mind from wandering,
where it will go
And it
really doesn't matter if I'm
wrong I'm right, where I belong
I'm right where I belong
Silly people run around who
worry me and never ask me
why they don't get past my door
I'm taking the time for a number
of things that weren't important
yesterday and I still go
I'm fixing a hole where the rain
gets in and
stops my mind from wandering,
where it will go
(Repeat until fade out)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
***She's Leaving Home***
Wednesday morning at five
o'clock as the day begins
Silently closing her bedroom
door
Leaving the note that she hoped
would say more
She goes downstairs to the
kitchen clutching a handkerchief
Quietly turning the backdoor key
Stepping outside she is free
Chorus
She (we gave her most of our
lives)
Is leaving (sacrificed most of
our lives)
Home (We gave her everything
money could buy)
She is leaving home after living
alone for so many years
Father snores as his wife gets
into her dressing gown,
Picks up the letter that's lying
there.
Standing alone at the top of the
stairs,
She breaks down and cries to her
husband Daddy our baby's gone.
Why would she treat us so
thoughtlessly?
How could she do this to me?
Chorus 2
She (we never thought of
ourselves)
Is leaving (never a thought for
ourselves)
Home (we struggled hard all our
lives to get by)
She's leaving home after living
alone for so many years
Friday morning at nine o'clock
she is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment
she made
Meeting a man from the motor
trade
Chorus 3
She (what did we do that was
wrong?)
Is having - we didn't know it
was wrong
Fun (fun is the one thing that
money can't buy)
Something inside that was always
denied for so many years
She's leaving home, bye bye
----------------------------------------------------------------------
***Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite***
[Intro] Bb A7 Dm G
For - the benefit of Mr.Kite
There will be a show tonight on
trampoline
The Hendersons will all be there
Late of Pablo Fanques Fair- what
a scene!
Over man and horses hoops and
garters
Lastly through a hogshead of
real fire!
In this way Mr. K. will
challenge the world!
The celebrated Mr. K.
performs his feat on Saturday at
Bishopsgate
The Hendersons will dance and
sing
As Mr. Kite flies through the
ring- don't be late!
Messrs. K. and H. assure the
public
Their production will be second
to none
And of course Henry The Horse
dances the waltz!
The band begins at ten to six
When Mr. K. performs his tricks
without a sound
And Mr. H. will demonstrate
Ten summersets he'll undertake
on solid ground
We've been some days in
preparation
A splendid time is guaranteed
for all
And tonight Mr. Kite is topping
the bill!
-----------------------------------------------------
***Within You Without You***
(This song is done with the sitar, but sounds the best to me over a C chord.
There are sitar-translated tabs on UG, but acoustically,
I think it sounds better just strumming a C and singing over it.)
We were talking about the space
between us all
And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth, then it's far too late, when they pass away
We were talking about the love we all could share
When we find it, to try our best to hold it there with our love
With our love, we could save the world, if they only knew
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you
We were talking about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see, are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find
Peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we're all one
And life flows on within you and without you

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of
wine?
If I'd been out till quarter to
three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you
still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?
oo oo oo oooo oo oooo oo
You'll be older too,
(ah ah ah ah ah)
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.
I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride.
Doing the garden, digging the
weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you
still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?
Every summer we can rent a
cottage in the Isle of Wight,
If it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
(ah ah)
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave
Send me a postcard, drop me a
line,
Stating point of view.
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, Wasting Away.
Give me your answer, fill in a
form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you
still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four?

***Lovely Rita***
Lovely Rita meter maid Lovely
Rita meter maid
Lovely Rita meter maid nothing
can come between us
When it gets dark I tow your
heart away
Standing by a parking meter,
when I caught a glimpse of Rita
filling in a ticket in her
little white book
In a cap she looked much older,
and the bag across her shoulder
made her look a little like a
military man
Lovely Rita meter maid may I
enquire discreetly
When are you free to take some
tea with me?
Lovely Rita meter maid Lovely
Rita meter maid
Took her out and tried to win
her, had a laugh, and over
dinner
told her I would really like to
see her again
Got the bill and Rita paid it,
took her home, I nearly made it,
sitting on the sofa with a
sister or two
Oh, lovely Rita, meter maid,
where would I be without you?
Give us a wink and make me think
of you
Lovely Rita meter maid Lovely
Rita meter maid

***Good Morning, Good Morning***
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, good morning, good
morning ah
Nothing to do to save his life
call his wife in
Nothing to say but "What a day,
how's your boy been?"
Nothing to do, its up to you
I've got nothing to say but it s
okay
Good Morning, good morning, good
morning ah
Going to work, don't want to go
feeling low down
Heading for home you start to
roam when you're in town
Everybody knows there's nothing
doing
Everything's closed, it's like a
ruin
Everyone you see is half asleep
And you're on your own you're in
the street
After a while you start to
smile, now you feel cool
Then you decide to take a walk
by the old school
Nothing had changed it's still
the same
I've got nothing to say but it's
okay
Good morning, good morning, good
morning ah
People running round it's five
o'clock
Everywhere in town is getting
dark
Everyone you see is full of life
It's time for tea and meet the
wife
Somebody needs to know the time,
glad that I'm here
Watching the skirts you start to
flirt, now you're in gear
Go to a show you hope she goes
I've got nothing to say, but
it's okay
Good morning, good morning, good
Good morning, good morning, good
(7x)

***A Day In The Life***
Intro
I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the
grade
And though the news was rather
sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights
had changed
A crowd of people stood and
stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of
Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won
the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
E B7sus4
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
E B7sus4 (B7)
And looking up I noticed I was late (ha ha ha.)
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
E B7sus4
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
E B7sus4
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
Interlude
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in
Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather
small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it
takes to fill the Albert Hall
I'd love to turn you on.
