Something in the wind has learned my name
F#m Em A7 D
And it's telling me that things are not the same
G A F#m B7
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
Em7 Em7-5 A7
There a pleasing sense of happiness for me
D A G D
There is only one wish on my mind
F#m Em A7 D
When this day is through I hope that I will find
G A F#m B7
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
Em7 Em7-5 A A7
All I need will be mine if you are here
[Chorus]

You’re So Vain
[Intro] Am
Am
You walked into a party;
F Am
like you are walking on to a yacht
Am
Your hat, strategically dipped below one eye;
F Am
your scarf it was an apricot
F G Em Am F C
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
G F
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner, they'd be your partner and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
F C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you
Am
You had me several years ago;
F Am
when I was still quite naive
Am
Well you said that we make such a pretty pair
F Am
and that you would never leave
F G Em Am F C
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
G F
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
F C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you

You're so vain,

you prob'ly think this song is about you
C Am
You're so vain,
F G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you
Am F Am
Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Am
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
F Am
To see the total eclipse of the sun
F G Em Am
Well you're where you should be all the time
F C
and when you're not you're with
G F
Some under world spy, or the wife of a close friend wife of a close friend and
[Chorus]
C
You're so vain,
F C
you prob'ly think this song is about you

You're so vain,

Dmaj7 D6
In a little while from now,
F#m7 F#7sus4
If I'm not feeling any less sour
Am
I promised myself to treat myself
F#m7b5 B7
And visit a nearby tower,
Em7
And climbing to the top,
Em7b5 Gm6
Will throw myself off
D Daug
In an effort to make it clear to who
D6 C#7
Ever what it's like when your shattered
F#m Am
Left standing in the lurch, at a church
B7b9 B7
Where people 're say___ing,
Em
"My God that's tough, she stood him up!
Em7b5 Gm6
No point in us remaining.
Dmaj7 D6
We may as well go home."
F#m F#m7 B7
As I did on my own,
Em A7b9 D
Alone again, naturally
[Verse 2]
Dmaj7 D6
To think that only yesterday,
F#m7 F#7sus4
I was cheerful, bright and gay,
Am
Looking forward to, but who wouldn't do,
F#m7b5 B7
The role I was about to play
Em7
But as if to knock me down,
Em7b5 Gm6 Em7b5
Rea__lity came around
D Daug
And without so much as a mere touch,
D6 C#7
Cut me into little pieces
F#m
Leaving me to doubt,
Am B7b9 B7
Talk about God and His mer___cy
Em
Who if He really does exist
Em7b5 Gm6
Why did He desert me
Dmaj7 D6
In my hour of need?
F#m F#m7 B7
I truly am in__deed,
Em A7b9 D
Alone again, naturally
[Bridge]
F
It seems to me that
There are more hearts
C7 C7/Bb
broken in the world
Em7b5
that can't be mended
Bbm 5 F
Left unattended

Alone again, naturally
[Verse 3]
Dmaj7 D6
Now looking back over the years,
F#m7 F#7sus4
And whatever else that appears
Am
I remember I cried when my father died
F#m7b5 B7
Never wishing to hide the tears
Em7
And at sixty five years old,
Em7b5
My mother, God rest her soul,
D Daug
Couldn't understand, why the only man
D6 C#7
She had ever loved had been taken
F#m Am
Leaving her to start with a heart
B7b9 B7
So badly bro___ken
Em
Despite encouragement from me
Em7b5 Gm6
No words were ever spoken
Dmaj7 D6
And when she passed away
F#m F#m7 B7
I cried and cried all day
Em A7b9 D/F# F#m7 B7
Alone again, naturally
Em A7b9 A7 D
Alone again,______naturally

Wake up, Maggie, I think I got some-thing to say to you:

It's late September and I really should be back at school.
G D G A
I know I keep you amused, but I feel I'm being used.
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have tried any more.
Em A Em A
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
Em A G D
You stole my heart and that's what really hurts.
A G D
The morning sun, when it's in your face really shows your age.
A G D
But that don't worry me none; in my eyes you're everything.
G D G A
I laughed at all of your jokes, my love you didn't need to coax,
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.
Em A Em A
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
Em A G D
You stole my soul that's a pain I can do without.
A G D
All I need was a friend to lend a guiding hand.
A G D
But you turned into a lover and Mother what a lover your wore me out.
G D G A
All you did was wreck my bed, and in the morning kick me in the head,
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more.
Em A Em A
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone.
Em A G D
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried.
A G D
I suppose I could collect my books and get back to school.
A G D
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool.
G D G A
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helping hand,
Em F#m Em
Oh, Maggie, I wish I'd never seen your face.
Em A
You made a first class fool out of me,
Em A
but I'm as blind as a fool can be.
Em A G D
You stole my heart, but I love you anyway.
