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

G7

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

C

I can change it 'round and I want to be a paperback writer

G7

Paperback writer

 

G7

If you really like it you can have the rights

It could make a milion for you overnight

If you must return it you can send it here

C

But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer

G7

Paperback writer

 

G7

Paperback writer...

 

 

 

 

And I'll send this to Nevada, too :-)
