Paperback Writer (covered on cigar box guitar) | The Beatles performed on 3 strings

I recently realized the song Paperback Writer by The Beatles only has 2 chords. I decided to do an arrangement on 3-string CBG just for fun. It came out pretty well. This is a really fun song to play and sing.

Thanks for checking it out smiling dog and AD. The intro riff definitely adds some complexity but it's still a simple song. So my fun to play and sing.

Thanks for the two chord share. You're the 6th Beatle : )

That seems likely. I know he liked to do those little extended chord moves. It seems to work fine with just the 2 major chords though. Thanks for checking it out BrianQ.

Kool version, if you really listen to the original, Lennon toggles between a Major & 7 on both G & C chords, so really it has 4 chords?

Thanks John. It's a fun one as Doug can testify.

Kale, we do have a good representation of the Beatles in our songbook. Some might say over representation, but that won’t stop me from continuing to add more. More cowbell Beatles!
