[Intro: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah)
Ah, look at all the lonely people

[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?

[Verse 2: Paul McCartney]
Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
What does he care?

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney & George Harrison]
All the lonely people
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?
[Chorus: Paul McCartney, John Lennon & George Harrison]
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people

[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved

[Pre-Chorus: Paul McCartney]
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people (Ah, look at all the lonely people)
Where do they all belong?

[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
