[Intro]
|    ||A           |D/A  A  D/A  |A      D/A  A|             |
[Verse A-1:]
Bm  A/C#   D              A/E                      F#m
So  wild,  standing there    with her hands in her hair.
Bm  A/C#   D      A/E   F#m                         Gadd9
I   can't  help remember    just where she touched me
Em7           D      A         Em7       D   A
      There's still   no face       here in   her place
[Verse B-1:]
Bm A/C#   D   A/E       E7sus4                E7
So cool,  she was like  jazz on a summer's day
Bm  A/C#  D    A/E        E7sus4                 E7
Mu- sic,  high and sweet, then she just blew away
[Chorus 1]
Esus2/G#        D/F#          A/E
        Now she can't be that warm
Esus2/G#         D/F#         A/E
        with the wind in her arms
    D/F#    A/E    E       D           F#m   A/E    D    A/C#
Valerie,__________ call on me, call on me,_________ Valerie
         Dsus2/F#
Come and see_______ me,  I'm the same boy I used to be
|A          |D/A  A  D/A  |A     D/A  A |             |
[Verse A-2]
Bm   A/C#  D             A/E                      F#m
Love songs fill the night, but they don't tell it all,
 
Bm  A/C# D      A/E    F#m                      Gadd9
Not how  lovers cry out    just like they are dying
 
Em7       D     A        Em7       D    A
      Her cries hang there      in time somewhere
[Verse B-2]
Bm  A/C# D    A/E        E7sus4                 E7
Someday, some good wind, may blow her back to me,
Bm   A/C#  D   A/E       E7sus4                 E7
Some night I__ may hear, her like she used to be
[Chorus 2]
Esus2/G#        D/F#          A/E
        No they can't be that warm
Esus2/G#         D/F#        A/E
        with the wind in her arms
    D/F#    A/E    E       D           F#m   A/E    D    A/C#
Valerie,__________ call on me, call on me,_________ Valerie

Come and see_______ me,  I'm the same boy I used to be
