Tuning: Standard
The Beatles
Paperback Writer (1966)
(Lennon/McCartney)
Single
Now on: “Past Masters, Vol 2” and “Mono Masters, Vol 2”
The intro and chorus part don’t have any chords in the strict sense. But
there must have been some initially as one can hear in the live versions.
There the Beatles play the chords suggested below in order to have some
orientation for the singers. When I play alone, I use these chords – sounds
quite nice.
