Valerie Plame 

                 G
Oh Valerie Plame 
                  Am
If that really is your name 
                  C  
I would just shout the same 
                     G 
To the world 

                    G
Dear Valerie Plame 
                        Am
So they made a wreck of you 
                        C
But give me the rest of you 
                                  G    F#/G
And I'll give the world 

Em                                      Am
But you were just some silly girl 
           C                                         G
Taking in the sights of your empire's colony 

Em                                     Am
So I took you into my confidence 
                C                               G
Without a thought of consequence 
D                          D7            G         
To my heart or to my mind 

                 G
But Valerie Plame 
                  Am
If that really is your name 
                    C
I would just shout the same 
                     G
To the world

Oh Valerie Plame 
If that really is your name 
I would just shout the same 
From up high 

Dear Valerie Plame 
I'll look for that long exchange 
Outside of the Bureau Change 
In Shanghai 

But I was just some stupid boy on a bus 
When your nom de guerre was Codename Caroline 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/d/decemberists/valerie_plame_crd.html ]
And so my Vespa became your chariot 
From the Green Zone Marriott 
To be etched upon my mind 


But Valerie Plame 
If that really is your name 
I would just shout the same 
To the world 

La da da de da

F                      Am              G/Am                 F
And when they flashed your picture 'cross the screen 
            Am             G/Am                        F
How my heart seemed to leap out of me 
              Am                G/Am         F
And they attached a list of your identities 
             Em
But the one you'll always be 

                A
Is Valerie Plame 
                  Bm
If that really is your name 
                     D
I would just shout the same 
                   A
To the world 

              A
Valerie plame 
                 Bm
If that really is your name 
                      D
I would just shout the same 
                     A
To the world
