[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am
You walked into the party;
F Am
like you were walking on to a yacht
Am
Your hat, strategically dipped below one eye;
F Am
your scarf it was apricot
F G Em Am F C
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
G F
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner, they'd be your partner and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
Dm7 C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you
[Verse]
Am
You had me several years ago;
F Am
when I was still quite naive
Am
Well, you said that we make such a pretty pair
F Am
and that you would never leave
F G Em Am F C
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
G F
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
Dm7 C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you, don't you
[Solo]

You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you
Am F Am
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Am
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
F Am
To see the total eclipse of the sun
F G Em Am
Well you're where you should be all the time
F C
and when you're not you're with
G F
Some under world spy, or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
Dm7 C
you prob'ly think this song is about you

You're so vain,

I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you, don't you now

It works well to play it as power chords in the verse if you want to rock it out like the foo fighters at the grammy's.... spot on chords

Perfect tab. My only addition would be the two chords that come in on piano right before she starts singing the opening verse-- directly before "You walked in to the party," you should briskly strum E and G once each (and in that order) before going back to Am when she begins singing the first verse. Like I said, they're played on piano on the record, but the song doesn't sound right without them when played on guitar IMO.

the solo is incorrect. it should follow the verse chord progression.
