[Verse 1]
         Emaj7                                           F#m7
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
       Emaj7
And I think of all the things,
                                           F#m7
what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
 
[Chorus]
      Amaj7                         G#m
'cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
           Amaj7                      G#m
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Amaj7            G#m                          B
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
                            Emaj7     F#m7
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?
 
[Verse 2]
         Emaj7                                     F#m7
Did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale,
       Emaj7
did you get a good lawyer?
                                           F#m7
I hope you didn't catch a tan
         Emaj7                                       F#m7
I hope you find the right man who'll fix it up for ya
       Emaj7
Are you shoppin' anywhere,
                                          F#m7
changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
         Emaj7                                  F#m7
And did you have to pay the fine
         Emaj7                          F#m7
you were dodging all the time are you still dizzy
 
[Chorus]
      Amaj7                         G#m
'cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
           Amaj7                      G#m
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Amaj7            G#m                          B
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
                            Emaj7     F#m7
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?
 
[Verse 3]
         Emaj7                                           F#m7
Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
       Emaj7
And I think of all the things,
                                           F#m7
what you're doing and in my head I make a picture
 
[Chorus]
      Amaj7                         G#m
'cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
           Amaj7                      G#m
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Amaj7            G#m                          B
Won't you come on over stop making a fool out of me
                            Emaj7     F#m7
Why won't you come on over Valerie? Valerie?
