OK, I think this song (and the whole album) are really kewl and I wanted to learn how to play it. I looked all over the whole internet (well not really :-) and couldn't find the tab. So I tried my hand at figuring it out. Once I figured it out I thought i ought to upload it to ftp.nevada.edu because it use it alot. It should be pretty accurate. I had a couple people go over it. But as always... email me with corrections.

Lyrics:

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. 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 know for all these years,
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, We hope you will enjoy the show,
We're Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Sit back and let the evening go.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely, Sgt. 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 want to stop the show, But I thought that you might like to know,
The singer's going to sing a song, And he wants you all to sing along.
So let me introduce to you The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.
