who sings lead vocals on lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Most of the song is in simple triple metre (3 4 time), but the chorus is in 4 4 time. The song modulates between musical keys, using the key of A major for verses, Bâ™­ major for the pre-chorus, and G major for the chorus.[14] It is sung by Lennon over an increasingly complicated underlying arrangement which features a tamboura, played by George Harrison, lead electric guitar put through a Leslie speaker, played by Harrison, and a counter melody on Lowrey organ played by McCartney and taped with a special organ stop sounding "not unlike a celeste".[15][16] Session tapes from the initial 1 March 1967 recording of this song reveal Lennon originally sang the line "Cellophane flowers of yellow and green" as a broken phrase, but McCartney suggested that he sing it more fluidly to improve the song.[17]
