"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: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/a/amy_winehouse/valerie_ver6_crd.htm CHORD SHAPES: Ebmaj7 Fm7 Abmaj7 Gm Bb7 e|--6------8------8------10------6--| B|--8------9------8------11------6--| G|--7------8------8------12------7--| D|--8------10-----10-----12------6--| A|--6------8------11-----10------8--| E|-------------------------------6--| [Intro] e|----------------|------------------| B|----------------|------------------| G|--------8-------|-10/12-12-10p8----| D|------8-8h10p8--|--------------10--| A|--8h10--------8-|------------------| E|----------------|------------------| [Verse] Ebmaj7 e|--6-------6-x-x-6-x-x-6---x---6--|---------6-x-x-6-x-x-6---x---6----| B|--8-------8-x-x-8-x-x-8---x---8--|---------8-x-x-8-x-x-8---x---8----| G|--7-------7-x-x-7-x-x-7---x---7--|---------7-x-x-7-x-x-7---x---7----| D|--8-------8-x-x-8-x-x-8---x---8--|---------8-x-x-8-x-x-8---x---8----| A|--6-------6-x-x-6-x-x-6---x---6--|---------6-x-x-6-x-x-6---x---6----| E|---------------------------------|----------------------------------| 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a Fm7 e|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8--|--------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8----| B|--9-------9--x-x-9--x-x-9---x---9--|--------9--x-x-9--x-x-9---x---9----| G|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8--|--------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8----| D|--10------10-x-x-10-x-x-10--x---10-|--------10-x-x-10-x-x-10--x---10---| A|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8--|--------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8----| E|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------| 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a On the second time, an extension to the Fm7 is added Fm7 e|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-11--x---11-|--------11-x-x-11-x-x-11--x---11---| B|--9-------9--x-x-9--x-x-9---x---9--|--------9--x-x-9--x-x-9---x---9----| G|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8--|--------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8----| D|--10------10-x-x-10-x-x-10--x---10-|--------10-x-x-10-x-x-10--x---10---| A|--8-------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8--|--------8--x-x-8--x-x-8---x---8----| E|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------| 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a 1 e + a 2 e + a 3 e + a 4 e + a

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? Valerie Valerie 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?
