John Lennon made it and says it was inspired by one of his son's drawings that he brought home from nursery school. He had drawn one of his class mates in the sky with her eyes as diamonds.
Jdknbtgc's improvement of the answer given above
It WAS from a drawing little Julian Lennon brought from nursery school! He drew it of a girl in his class named Lucy! I learned that from Beatles Rockband, which was Hello! Partly created by people like Yoko Ono XP and I think Olivia Harrison 8D? So, yeah! John didn't "claim" that the song was inspired by the drawing- it simply was inspired by the drawing.
This song also is the reason why Lucy, the first human-form organism found, got her name. You see, the people who found her bones had a party to celebrate their findings. At the party, the song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was played over and over again. No one knows when the decision was made, or who made the decision. All they know is that the name stuck like glue sticks on paper.
Also, the girl from Julian's class, Lucy, whom the song was written after, knew that she was the Lucy in the song. Unfortunately, other people didn't, and assumed that it was written about drugs. Because of this, whenever she mentioned this, people would say, "Oh, no- that song is about drugs." Another unfortunate thing that I shall mention is that Lucy died on what I think was September 28, 2009 of a cancer. You can find out more about that in a book my sister has that called, "The Day John Lennon Died," or something like that. This is all I know about the matter. The End.
The nursery school classmate's name was Lucy O'Donnell who did indeed pass away in 2009 due to lupus. She was last interviewed in 2008 and remembered the event vividly: "I remember Julian and I both doing pictures on a double-sided easel, throwing paint at each other, much to the Horror of the classroom attendant... Julian had painted a picture and on that particular day his father turned up with the chauffeur to pick him up from school."
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" first appeared in the 1967 album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and it was written by John Lennon. The album was the biggest selling album of the 1960s.
