Great song. Should be a perfect tab for solo acoustic performance, without the little
riff for the chorus although for posterity it's at the bottom.
 
Intro:
 
E:--6-----6-----|   x5 and a bit (cut off by chords)
B:----8-----8---|
G:------8-----8-|
D:--------------|
A:--------------|
E:--------------|
 
Verse 1:
         Eb
Well sometimes I go out by myself
                        Fm
And I look across the water
         Eb
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
                        Fm
And in my head I make a picture
 
Chorus:
     G#5
Cos since I've come on home,
         Gm
Well my body's been a mess
     G#5
And I've missed your ginger hair
         Gm
And the way you like to dress
     G#5
Won't you come on over
Gm                        Bb
Stop making a fool out of me...
                              Eb
Why won't you come on over Valerie?
Fm
Valerie?
 
Verse 2:
         Eb
Did you have to go to jail,
                        Fm
Put your house up on for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
         Eb
I hope you didn't catch a tan,
                        Fm
I hope you'll find the right man who'll fix it for ya
         Eb
And are you shoppin' anywhere,
                        Fm
Changed the colour of you hair, are you busy?
         Eb
And did you have to pay the fine
                        Fm
You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy?
 
 with added part:
 
Eb
Valerie?
Fm
Valerie?
 
No chords for this next bit:
 
Well sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I make a picture
 
 with added part as described before

This is a mint guitar tab nice one mate - was looking all over for a good one. Here are some things that the Zutons' lead guitarist plays that ppl playing the song can choose to do instead of the chords at the following parts: (Second Verse - Chords) Eb And are you shoppin' anywhere, Fm Changed the colour of you hair, are you busy? Eb And did you have to pay the fine Fm You were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy? (Second Verse - Lead) - instead of chords (or as well as chords if two ppl are playing) From 'Shopping' (and 'Have') you can play: E:--6-----6-----| x6 B:----8-----8---| G:------8-----8-| D:--------------| A:--------------| E:--------------| Then from 'Busy' (and 'Dizzy') you can play: E:--8-----8-----| x6 B:----6-----6---| G:------8-----8-| D:--------------| A:--------------| E:--------------| *OPTIONAL BASS RIFF FOR CHORUS* Part 1: Eb e:---------- B:---------- G:---------- D:---------- A:-6-6-6-6-6 E:---------- Part 2: Eb e:----------------------- B:----------------------- G:----------------------- D:----------------------- A:------3---3--6-6-6-6-6- E:--3-6---6-------------- Part 3: Fm Fm e:-------------------------------------------| B:-------------------------------------------| G:-------------------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------| A:-----3----3----------------3---3-----------| E:-3-6---6----1-1-1-1-1--3-6---6---1-1-1-1-1-| Part 4: Eb Eb e:--------------------------------------------| B:--------------------------------------------| G:--------------------------------------------| D:--------------------------------------------| A:------3---3--6-6-6-6-6-----3---3--6-6-6-6-6-| E:--3-6---6--------------3-6---6--------------| Repeat

would have been nice to add the little guitar parts, but still pretty good

Brillian tab man!!!!!
