Valerie - ukulele chords - Zutons / Amy Winehouse

In memory of the late Amy Winehouse, we played this song last night at our ukulele jam. Works well on the uke, whichever style you play it in. Works nice in laid back Amy Winehouse style or chugging Zutons style!.




VALERIE


Well some (C) times I go out by myself and I look across the (Dm) water

And I (C)think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a (Dm) picture

Chorus

(F)'Cos since I've come on home, well my (Em) body's been a mess

And I've (F) missed your ginger hair and the (Em) way you like to dress

(F)Won't you come on over, (C)stop making a fool out of (G) me

Why won't you come on over

(C) Valerie? (Dm)Valerie

Verse 2


Did you (C) have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale did you get a good (Dm)lawyer?

I hope you (C)didn't catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who'll fix it (Dm) for you

Are you (C)shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you (Dm) busy

And did you (C)have to pay the fine you were dodging all the time are you still (Dm) dizzy?

Chorus

'Cos (F) since I've come on home, well my (Em)body's been a mess

And I've (F)missed your ginger hair and the (Em)way you like to dress

(F)Won't you come on over, (C)stop making a fool of (G)me

Why won't you come on over

(C)Valerie? (Dm)Valerie

(C)Valerie? (Dm)Valerie


Verse 1 again

(No chords)
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
(No chords)
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I make a
picture

Chorus


'Cos (F) since I've come on home, well my (Em) body's been a mess

And I've (F) your ginger hair and the (Em)way you like to dress

(F)Won't you come on over, (C)stop making a fool out of (G)me

Why won't you come on over (C) Valerie? (Dm)Valerie

(C)Valerie, (Dm)Valerie (Em) Valerie

Everyone I know plays it differently, and it depends whether you play the Zutons or Amy version - very different. Either way, you need to find a chugging rhythm that suits your own style
