TABBED BY:    NintEndO


This is the tab of Amy's 2007 debut album. I've tabbed the acoustic guitar parts
played by Amy and I've included in each song the basic strumming pattern. I would
recommend that you listen to the song before trying the pattern. Also I've left a
Chord Summary below for those who don't want to have to scroll through the whole
tab. Enjoy playing as its a great album to strum along to

Em   Bm   C   G  G/F#

 Em                          Bm
Oh Mr James Dean, he don't belong to anything
        C                                         G            G/F#
Oh he left before they could get him with their ways, their wicked ways

 Em              Bm
Oh Marilyn Monroe, where did you go
                         C                              G     G/F#
I didn't hear all your stories, I didn't see all your glories

         Em
But the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
              Bm
I just don't care in the end, who is she to pretend
            C                    G       G/F#
That she's one of them, I don't think so
         Em
And the girl from that show, yes the one we all know
                  Bm
She thinks she's some kind of star, yes you know who you are
          C                G        G/F#
I don't think so, I don't think so

(repeat pattern throughout)

Em Bm C G G/F#
Oh Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire
won't you dance for me cause I just don't care
What's going on today, I think there's something more, something more

And I'm gone with the wind like they were before
But I'm believing myself I think there's something more
There must be something more, I think there's something more, something more

But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end, who is she to pretend
That she's one of them, I don't think so
And the girl from that show, yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kind of star, yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so

Oh I don't believe in the telling of your stories
Throughout your life, there's just something unappealing
It don't catch my eye, it don't catch my eye

Oh I don't believe in the selling of your glories
Before you leave this life, there's so much more to see
I don't believe this is how the world should be

But still the footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end, who is she to pretend
That she's one of them, I don't think so
And the girl from that show, yes the one we all know
She thinks she's some kind of star, yes you know who you are
I don't think so, I don't think so

The footballer's wife tells her troubles and strife
I just don't care in the end, who is she to pretend
That she's one of them?

(end on Em)

        G          C                G
Oh the leaves are falling from the trees
         G       C                G
And the snow is coming don't you know
          C                         G
But I'll still remember which way to go
            D                    G
I'm on the road, the road to home

        G        C          G
Oh the sound is fading in my ears
        G                 C             G
And I can't believe I've lasted all these years
          C                         G
But I'll still remember which way to go
            D                    G
I'm on the road, the road to home

G  C  G (x2)

        G        C            G
Oh the light is fading all the time
          G                C              G
And this life I'm in, it seems to pass me by
         C                          G
But I'll still remember which way to go
            D                    G
I'm on the road, the road to home

    G C        G
Now I  must say goodbye
              G    C         G
Keep telling myself now don't you cry
       C                G
But I'm here where I belong
       D                        G
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
       D                        G
I'll see you soon, it won't be long
       D

D              A                  D                  G
I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
       D                 A                    D               G
In these last few days I've been afraid that I might drift away
            D                       A
So I've been telling old stories and singing songs
       D                G
That make me think about where I came from
   D                 A               D         G
And that's the reason why I feel so far away today

     D                   A                    D                     G
And let me tell you that I love you, that I think about you all the time
G                  D                      A     D
Caledonia's been calling me and now I'm going home
    D                    A                      D                        G
And if I should become a stranger you know that it would make me more than sad
G                 A               D        Dsus4
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
G                 A               D
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
