C       C* C
Valerie, please  -  believe
   Csus4       D         D7 D
It never could work out
                 F
The time to make plans
    C
Has passed
       D    D7 D  G  N.C.
Faded away

[Verse 2]

                 C     C* C
Ooh, the way you look
         Csus4       D       D7 D
Makes my starry eyes shiver
             F    C
Then I look awa-a-ay
                 D    D7 D  G  N.C.
Too much for one day

[Verse 3]

             C     C* C
One thing we share
       Csus4   D       D7 D
Is an ideal of beauty
            F
Treasure so rare
C                   D          D7 D  G  N.C.
   That even devils might care

[Verse 4]

                   C      C* C
Your swimming pool eyes
               Csus4 D       D7 D
In sea breezes they  flutter
            F
The coconut tears
                  C
Heavy-lidded they shed
                      D
Swaying palms at your feet
           D7    D       G  N.C.
You're the pride of your street

[Verse 5]

                      C
While you worship the sun
             C* C
Summer lover of fun
     Csus4       D          D7 D D7 D
Gold number with neighbours
D7       D              F
Who said that you'll go far
                   C
Maybe someday be a star
                  D
A fast-mover like you
         D7     D             G  N.C.
And your dreams will all come true

[Instrumental]

G

[Verse 6]

          C     C* C
All of my hope
    Csus4   D       D7 D
And my inspiration
            F
I drew from you
                              C
Our life's pattern's drawn in sand
                         D
But the winds could not erase
    D7     D       G  N.C
The memory of your face

[Verse 7]

            C      C* C
Deep in the night
            Csus4   D      D7 D
Plying very strange cargo
                    F
Our soul ships pass by
C                   D     D7 D
  Solo trips to the stars
        G  N.C.
In the sky

[Verse 8]

           C    C* C
Gliding so far
         Csus4      D       D7 D
That the eye cannot follow
              F
Where do they go
C              D    G  N.C.
   We'll never know
