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

please tell me the strum pattern
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
