INTRO:

GmI was one as you were one, Fand we were two so much in love forEbever.

I loved the white socks Bb/Dthat you wore.

But you don't wear white Gm7/Ebsocks no more, now you're a Dmwoman.

I Gmjoked about your turned-up nose, Fcriticized your school girl clothes-

Eb Bb Gm7/Eb | Dsus D |

but would I then have paced these roads - to love you?

BRIDGE:

Asus A Dm Asus A7sus - A7 Dm

For seasons come & seasons go. Bring forth the rain - the sun & snow-

make Valerie a Gmwoman. And Valerie is Flonely.

EmNo more to roam on the Amsnow hills of Hienton.

UndeEmcided with the guardians of the Amolder generation.

A dFoormat was a sign of welcome C- in the winter months to come.

And in the Dmsummer laughing through the Amcastle ruins we'd run.

EmFor the quadrangle sang to the Amsun, and the grace of our Emfeeling -

And the candle burned lFow.

As we talked of the Cfuture underneath the Dmceiling.

GmThere were tears in the sky F& the clouds in your eyes were just Ebcover.

Bb/D Gm7/Eb Dsus - D

For your thighs were the cushions of my love and yours for each other.

BbThe songs still are sung. Ab It was fun to be young.

But pEblease don't be sFad where you Gmare.

I am who I am. FYou are who you are. Eb

Bb/D Now Valerie's a Gm7/Ebwoman. Bb/D Now Valerie's a Gm7/Ebwoman.

Bb/D Gm7/Eb Bb/D Gm7/Eb {Repeat Intro - end in Gm}

Now Valerie's a wo - man.

When you say Gm7/Eb is that a chord change? Because there's no Eb in a Gm7 chord to play as the root note?

That just means play a Gm7 with yoru right hand and an Eb with the left hand. That pretty much builds an EbMaj7/9 chord. Enjoy!
