Chords with lyrics

Capo on 3rd

Intro:

G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G

Verse:

G+G               A minorAm
Valerie was queen of the sweets
C majorC             G+G  D/F#D/F#
Different kinds all in a line
G+G           A minorAm
With heart shaped chocolates in the window
    C majorC       G+G  D/F#D/F#
For some passing valentine

G+G        A minorAm
Patron of the oldest school
    C majorC       G+G
With plenty of mouths to feed
D/F#D/F# G+G           A minorAm
She was just a little hard on the boy
    C majorC          G+G
Now Sheldon’s nowhere to be seen

Chorus:

     D/F#D/F#   E minorEm   C majorC
I bet you don’t breathe easy
           G+G
And now that he’s gone
         D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Because you sure don’t
    C majorC           G+G
Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong
  D/F#D/F# A minorAm
Good old valerie
B7B7
Reluctantly shouldering arms...
   C majorC   D MajorD       G+G   D/F#D/F#
Says he’ll be back before too long


Verse:

G+G           A minorAm
She sent the poor boy packing
    C majorC           G+G D/F#D/F#
And mustered up a touch stone wave
G+G        A minorAm
And looking back over the years
  C majorC           G+G  D/F#D/F#
I suppose it’s a dead giveaway

G+G              A minorAm
She drove the same boy home to me
        C majorC           G+G  D/F#D/F#
And said you know blood’s thicker than water
G+G            A minorAm
You wouldn’t think to look at her but man
         C majorC           G+G
Shell crush your spirits in a pestle and mortar

Chorus:

     D/F#D/F#  E minorEm   C majorC
I bet you don’t breathe easy
           G+G
And now that he’s gone
         D/F#D/F#  E minorEm
Because you sure don’t
    C majorC           G+G
Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong
    A minorAm
Good old valerie
B7B7
Reluctantly shouldering arms
    C majorC   D MajorD       G+G
Says he’ll be back before too long


Chorus:

     D/F#D/F# E minorEm   C majorC
I bet you don’t breathe easy
           G+G
And now that he’s gone
         D/F#D/F# E minorEm
Because you sure don’t
    C majorC           G+G
Sleep easy and knowing he’s wrong
    A minorAm
Good old valerie
B7B7
Reluctantly shouldering arms
    C majorC   D MajorD       G+G
Says he’ll be back before too long
