Just thought I'd share this. I believe it matches how Paul plays the song live and also sounds correct for at least one of the guitars on the recording.
Sixteen Blue
Chords
From low E on the left to high e on the right, numbers are frets, periods separate strings, x is do not play string.
G(1)
x.10.9.0.8.10
Dmaj11
x.5.4.0.3.5
C
x.3.2.0.1.3
G(2)
3.5.5.4.3.3
or
3.2.0.0.3.3
Cm
x.3.5.5.4.3
Cm6
8.x.7.8.8.8
D
x.x.0.2.3.2

Opening
G(1) — Dmaj11 — C [note, these are all the same chord form sliding down the neck]
G(1) — Dmaj11 — G(2)
Verse
[Drive yourself right up the wall . . .]
G(2) w/ lick
[It's a boring state]
C
[It's a useless wait . . .]
Cm
(You can also play Cm6 instead of Cm)
{I know]
G(2) w/ lick
repeat
Chorus
[your age. . .]
D
[everything . . .]
G(2)
[One day . . .]
D
[through . . .]
Am
[Sixteen Blue . . .]
G(1) — Dmaj11 — Am7
G(1) — Dmaj11 — G(2)
G(1) — Dmaj11 — Am7
G(1) — Dmaj11 — G(2)
On the final chorus substitute Asus2 for the Am7
Here' the solo:
Play first part twice over G, then second part over C — Cm

On the recording, when it gets to "Your age," I believe the 12-string guitar in the left channel plays Dsus2 (x.0.0.2.3.0) and G6 (3.2.0.0.3.0).
