Beatles — Paperback Writer Tab

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...

 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

 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

 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

 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
