Song: Paperback Writer
Artist: The Beatles
I prefer to play the opening like this:
E:——————————————————————-|
B:——————————————————————-|
G:——————————————————————-|
D:———5——3—————————————————|
A:—3—5—————3——3—5————————————|
E:3————3——3——3——————————————|
It sounds better than the open strings in the previous posting. Just
A thought…

I think it was on ‘Rubber Soul’? Don’t know for sure.
Well, here it is, with the first bit tabbed:
Paperback Writer
By John Lennon & Paul McCartney
It took almost 30 years to get this song on a computer 🙂
(Original written in 1966, I wrote this on 01.01.1995)
Yip, it’s the best two-chord song I’ve ever heard…
This is the intro bit:
E—————-v——————v
B—————-v——————v
G——-0———v——————v
D—0-3——0-3—v———0—3—v
A—————-v—3————-v
E-3—————v-3——3———v
And the complete lyrics & chords:
Paperback writer…
G7
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look
It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear
C
And I need a job so I want to be a paperback writer
G7
Paperback writer
G7
It’s a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn’t understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
C
It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer

Paperback writer
G7
It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few
I’ll be writing more in a week or two
I can make it longer if you like the style
