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
                                             C
And I need a job so I want to be a paperback writer
          G7

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
                                                 C
It's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer

G7
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 million 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
