"Valerie - Live At BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, London / 2007"
Amy Winehouse
Back To Black (Deluxe Edition)
Hey Guys,
I've been listening to Amy Winehouse for a while now and I absolutely adore the BBC Live version she did of
Valerie. I've tried to get the rhythms and intro as best as possible, so if you notice a mistake please let
me know and I'll fix them up! Also thanks to pheonix*'s chart he/she did for this song, it can be found here:

Did you have to go to jail,
Put your house up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
And are you shopping anywhere,
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
'Cause since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?

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 paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home,
Well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
