[Intro]
(All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?)
[Verse 1]
Eleanor Rigby
Picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been, oh
Lives in a dream, oh
Sits by the window
Wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Oh, who is it for?
[Chorus]
(And all the lonely people)
All the lonely people
All the lonely, lonely people
(Where do they all come from?)
Where do they all come from?
(All the lonely people)
All the lonely people
(Where do they all belong?)
Where do they all belong?
Whoa
[Verse 2]
Father McKenzie
Writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear
Oh, no one comes near
Look at him workin'
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
Oh, what does he care?
[Chorus]
(And all the lonely people)
Whoa, all, all the lonely people
(Where do they all come from?)
Where do they all come from, now now?
Let me hear it again, now
(All the lonely people)
All, all the lonely, lonely people, now?
(Where do they all belong?)
Where do they all belong, now?
Whoa

Eleanor Rigby
Died in the church and was buried along with her name, woah (Well)
Nobody came
Father McKenzie
Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walked from the grave (Well)
Woah, no one, no one was saved
[Chorus]
(All the lonely people)
