Form of the Song
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is the psychedelic single from
The Beatles off of the 1967 record, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song was originally written by John Lennon, citing his son's artistic expression as inspiration.
The band was suspected of using the song title as a drug reference, because the first letter of each word spells out LSD, and the record considered the most experimental and psychedelic of all Beatles records in terms of sound and structure. Several radio stations would be then pull the song from rotation, despite being the hit song from the biggest selling record in England.
The song itself starts the verse in the key of A, then moves to Bb and finally the key of G for the chorus. The chords played are all quite simple to use, and the structure is straightforward. Follow along to the video and learn the strumming pattern for the song.
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" uses the following song form:
* Intro
* Verse 1
* Chorus
* Verse 2
* Chorus
* Verse 3 (short verse)
* Chorus (repeat to fade)

    hey morgan, fyi when shesays a over g she is referring to a slash chord. it simply means play the note g in the bass line. put another way the letter to the right of the slash ( /) will be in the bass line. it is a common reference in music. with a little practice it get easier. good luck.

    @scottl4321 I found it easier to bar the A chord with your index, and then use your thumb for the bassline (although you may be able to use your middle finger for the A/G). That way, you don't even have to move your index finger for that section! OK you don't have the high open E, but I don't really think that matters! It sounds fine to me :)

    Great tutorial but my pinky is kind of unflexible, it jumps from one position to the other (when I extend it) without stopping inbetween so I rather use my thumb to play the G on the E-string

    Its great and on 2nd verse: cellophane flowers of yellow and green,chords sound good. But on : Towering over your head the F 7 or F major that you're using for some strange reason doesn't sound right...maybe its an F diminished or another augmented weird chord? I played it over and over using F major but it just doesn't fit in...about your voice you sing beautifully like an Angel...and you're beautiful too..are you single..lol😉
