Richard Thompson - Valerie chords
Start Jamming...
Oh [G] Valerie, give me heart attack
Oh Valerie, put me on the rack
Will you say that I'm history?
You say I'm no good
And you wanna be too bad in [E] the woods
[Dm] That's [C] what I'll go into [E] the gallery
While I'm [D] waiting, [C] waiting, waiting for [G] Valerie
Yeah, Valerie, she got a scar down here
Valerie, she got gold in her ear
I think I might just slip like a bat
Grabbing her neck, teeth like a cat
[Em] She never [D] gets home [C] till it's five [E] o'clock or three
While [Em] I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for [G] Valerie
I [Em] lost something, I had to give up my [G] cash
To spend all my money on junk and [Em] trash
And I had a full plastic shoe
[A] I'm fixing seven things you're never gonna use
Never, never, never gonna use
[G] Oh Valerie,
[Em] [G]
Valerie, you're gonna talk too long
Valerie, why don't you put that down?
If you don't get over this easy track
They're gonna take you home in a body [Em] bag
I'm [D] [C] a steel woman, [E] Valerie
While [Em] I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for [G] Valerie
[Em] I love all the time I find my wife
[G] She's around the corner looking for a [E] crack
She's gonna feel the ruin on me
[A] While I'm running on the strategy
I'm running on the strategy
[G] Oh Valerie, she's want to move out of town
Valerie, she wants the money now
She won't let me spend this time
I'm not matching luggage, I'm a big [Em] hat
I can't afford it on my [E] salary
Still I'm [D] waiting, [C] waiting, waiting for [G] Valerie
I'm [Em] waiting, [C] waiting, waiting for [G] Valerie
I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for Valerie
[C]
[G] [C] [G] Oh
[C] [G] [C] [G]
[E] [D] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G] Valerie, oh Valerie
