This is the tab of Amy's 2007 debut album. I've tabbed the acoustic guitar parts

recommend that you listen to the song before trying the pattern. Also I've left a

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)

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
