How to play the Paperback Writer melody on guitar

The melody of Paperback Writer by The Beatles runs 262 notes across 34 bars, 2:05 long in G at 156 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.

Prefer to strum and sing it instead? Paperback Writer chords and lyrics.
