 Revolver (1966)
 
 
 
  
     
  I recommend palm-muting throughout the song.  See below for fingering
 suggestions.  
 
 
 
  C                            Em
 Ahh, look at all the lonely people.
  C                            Em

  Em                                                 Em7          C
 Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been.
             Em
 Lives in a dream.
  Em                                                     Em7         C
 Waits at the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door,
           Em
 Who is it for?
 
 
 Em7              Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C                 Em
 Where do they all come from?
 Em7             Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C             Em
 Where do they all belong?
 
 
  Em                                                  Em7          C
 Father MacKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear,
               Em
 No one comes near.
  Em                                                               Em7    C
 Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody
there.
               Em
 What does he care?
 
 
 Em7              Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C                 Em
 Where do they all come from?
 Em7             Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C             Em
 Where do they all belong?
 
 
  C                            Em
 Ahh, look at all the lonely people.
  C                            Em

  Em                                            Em7            C
 Eleanor Rigby died in a church and was buried along with her name,
         Em
 Nobody came.
  Em                                                    Em7             C
 Father MacKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the
grave,
             Em
 No one was saved.
 
 
 Em7              Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C                 Em
 Where do they all come from?
 Em7             Em6
 All the lonely people,
       C             Em
 Where do they all belong?
 
 
 
 
 Here's my suggestion for playing the Em7-Em6-C-Em section:
 
 
    Em7            Em6              C              Em
