Paperback Writer
(Lennon/McCartney)
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...
C
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
Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?
It took me years to write, will you take a look?
Based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job, so I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
It's the dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand.
His son is working for the Daily Mail,
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
Paperback writer
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,
I can change it round and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
If you really like it you can have the rights,
It could make a million for you overnight.
If you must return it, you can send it here
But I need a break and I want to be a paperback writer,
Paperback writer.
