Lyrics

[Intro]
G7
Paperback writer,

[Verse 1]
     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,
And I need a job,
                            C
So I want to be a paperback writer,

[Chorus]
          G7
Paperback writer.

[Verse 2]
       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
It's a steady job,
                               C
But he wants to be a paperback writer,

[Chorus]
          G7
Paperback writer.

[Break]
G7
Paperback writer,

[Verse 3]
       G7
It's a thousand pages,
give or take a few.
I'll be writing more in a week or two.
I could make it longer if you like the style.
I can change it 'round,
                             C
And I want to be a paperback writer,

[Chorus]
          G7
Paperback writer.

[Verse 4]
       G7
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,
                             C
And I want to be a paperback writer,

[Chorus]
          G7
Paperback writer.

[Break]
G7
Paperback writer,

[Outro]
G7
  Paperback writer, paperback writer.
Paperback writer,
