Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Picture yourself on a boat in 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
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 taxies appear on the shores
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
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, ah

Picture yourself in a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes

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 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:45
Cough ? * NEW * Has also been suggested that this is Ringo's hi-hat banging together more loudly and sibiliantly than expected, possibly as a result of treading on the pedal too hard to close the cymbal, but there is a distinctly cough-like quality :)
0:50
Guitar breaks through on right channel just before the "Lucy .."
1:32
John sings "grows so incredibly high", and a much delayed "igh" is heard. Was this from a previous take?
1:53-1:56
Lead guitar drops out (Right)
2:34
Paul sings harmony on the "Lu" syllable in "Lucy"; he was supposed to sing in tandem with John, and corrects himself by the second syllable.
3:08
Printthrough of "Aaah" audible on right channel
