C                          Caug 
Well sometimes I go out by myself 
C                         Caug 
And I look across the water 
C                              Caug 
And I think of all the things, what you're doing 
C                              Caug 
And in my head I paint a picture 

 
      Am              Am/G#  
Cause since I've come on home 
        Am/G         D/F# 
Well my body's been a mess 
      Am              Am/G# 
And I miss your ginger hair 
       Am/G         D/F# 
And the way you like to dress 
      Am              Am/G# 
Won't you come on over? 
    Am/G         D/F#    F  C/E 
Stop making a fool out of me 
D                     G/F   C 
Why don't you come on over, Valerie? 

Dm       C        Dm 
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie 

 
C 
Did you have to go to jail? 
Caug 
Put your house up on for sale? 
C                         Caug 
Did you get a good lawyer? 
C 
I hope you didn't catch a tan 
Caug                                Caug 
Hope you found the right man who'll fix it for you 
C 
Are you shoppin' anywhere? 
Caug                            C             Caug 
Changed the color of your hair, are you busy? 
C 
And did you have to pay the fine 
Caug                          C              Caug 
You was dodging all the time, are you still busy? 

 
       Am               Am/G# 
'Cause since I've come on home 
        Am/G          D/F# 
Well my body's been a mess 
      Am               Am/G# 
And I miss your ginger hair 
       Am/G          D/F# 
And the way you like to dress 
      Am               Am/G#  
Won't you come on over? 
    Am/G          D/F#    F  C/E 
Stop making a fool out of me 
D                     G/F   C 
Why don't you come on over, Valerie? 

Dm       C        Dm 
Valerie, Valerie, Valerie
