Great song. Should be a perfect tab for solo acoustic performance, without the little
riff for the chorus although for posterity it's at the bottom.

Verse 1:
Eb
Well sometimes I go out by myself
Fm
And I look across the water
Eb
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
Fm
And in my head I make a picture
Chorus:
G#5
Cos since I've come on home,
Gm
Well my body's been a mess
G#5
And I've missed your ginger hair
Gm
And the way you like to dress
G#5
Won't you come on over
Gm Bb
Stop making a fool out of me...
Eb
Why won't you come on over Valerie?
Fm
Valerie?

Verse 2:
Eb
Did you have to go to jail,
Fm
Put your house up on for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
Eb
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
Fm
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
Eb
And are you shoppin' anywhere,
Fm
Changed the colour of you hair, are you busy?
Eb
And did you have to pay the fine
Fm
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
with added part:
Eb
Valerie?
Fm
Valerie?
No chords for this next bit:
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I make a picture
with added part as described before
