I saw a welcome response to the last Material Issue song on here, so I thought

someone might like to see this one as well. Enjoy!

This is the basic chord-picking pattern. These chords are played clean during the verses, and played with palm-muting and distortion between verses.

The next riff (Riff B) is played during the chorus ("Valerie loves me!")

Valerie's dancing, on the roof above my bed you know

for all of the world below to see

Valerie's leaving, in a car outside my house you know

Such a shame she's not with me and all the pretty things,

and all the love my heart can bring,

I would give my whole life to her.

Valerie loves me!

Valerie's riding, in a car around my neighborhood.

She's thinking of all the men she'll meet.

I could only hope for a stolen moment of her thoughts

Between the walk to the club and all the drinks she'll have in a crowded

room where everybody leaves too soon, I only hope that she remembers me..

 

Valerie loves me!

(With distortion and palm-muting, 4 times)

B|------------------------------------------------------------|

Valerie loves me!

Valeries's lonely, in an apartment down the street you know,

and her hair has turned so grey.

But she's so happy for the memories she has you know.

She can believe in the day when love was on a string

And she could have had anything she ever wanted, but she can't have me.

 

Valerie loves me!

(With distortion and palm-muting)
