The Beatles - Paperback Writer

Originally in G, I play in E

I usually skip the wild intro, and when it happens again later,

I just sing it over I

I stole the clever bIII,IV from a YouTube cover, originally

the verse is all I until ‘writer’

Dear E7Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

It took me years to write, will you Gtake a look A

It’s E7based on a novel by a man named Lear

And I need a job so I want to be a Gpaperback Awriter

Paperback E7writer

E7It’s a dirty story of a dirty man

And his clinging wife doesn’t GunderstandA

His E7son is working for the Daily Mail

It’s a steady job but he wants to be a Gpaperback Awriter

Paperback E7writer

E7It’s a thousand pages, give or take a few

I’ll be writing more in a Gweek or twoA

I can E7make it longer if you like the style

I can change it ‘round and I want to be a Gpaperback Awriter

Paperback E7writer

E7If you really like it you can have the rights

It could make a milion for you GovernightA

If you E7must return it you can send it here

But I need a break and I want to be a Gpaperback Awriter

Paperback E7writer
