Chords used:
 
B:      7 9 9 8 7 7     or      x 2 4 4 4 2
Bm7:    x 2 4 4 3 2
G#m7:   4 6 4 4 4 4
C#m7:   x 4 6 4 5 4
F#:     2 4 4 3 2 2
G:      3 5 5 4 3 3
F#sus4: 2 2 4 4 2 2     or      2 4 4 4 2 2
A:      x 0 2 2 2 0
D:      x x 0 2 3 2
E:      0 2 2 1 0 0
C#m7:   x 4 6 4 5 4
D#m7:   x 6 8 6 7 6
 
In some versions C#m7 and D#m7 are replaced by A/C# and B/D# respectively, can be played
like that. I think that the minor 7th chords sound better. For the outro play 2 semitones up.
Use B Chord = x 2 4 4 4 2 in order to have the same voicing as in the non modulated chorus A chord
 
 
[Verse]
         B               G#m7           C#m7       F#
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
         B                 G#m7             Bm7
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known
            G#m7                 G
And all the people that come and go
         F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
Stop and say hello
 
B                  G#m7          C#m7       F#
On the corner is a banker with a motorcar
           B                 G#m7        Bm7
The little children laugh at him behind his back
        G#m7                 G
And the banker never wears a mac
       F#
In the pouring rain...
E
Very strange
 
[Chorus]
      A             C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A                 C#m7         D
There beneath the blue suburban skies
           F#
I sit, and meanwhile back
 
[Verse]
         B               G#m7            C#m7       F#
In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
           B           G#m7            Bm7
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
            G#m7                 G
He likes to keep his fire engine clean
       F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
It's a clean machine

[Chorus]
      A             C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A       C#m7            D
Four of fish and finger pies
           F#
In summer, meanwhile back
 
[Verse]
           B              G#m7        C#m7       F#
Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundabout
         B                G#m7        Bm7
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
               G#m7                   G
And though she feels as if she's in a play
       F#sus4    F#    F#sus4   F#
She is anyway
 
      B               G#m7           C#m7       F#
Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer
           B              G#m7          Bm7
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim
         G#m7           G
Then the fireman rushes in
         F#
From the pouring rain...
E
Very strange
 
[Chorus]
      A             C#m7           D
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
A                 C#m7          D
There beneath the blue suburban skies
           F#
I sit, and meanwhile back
 
[Outro]
B                   D#m7           E
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes
B                 D#m7          E
There beneath the blue suburban skies...
           B
Penny Lane
