Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am](Son of a gun)[Am][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
You [Am]walked into the party
Like you were [F]walking on to a [Am]yacht
Your hat stra[Am]tegically dipped below one eye
Your [F]scarf, it was apri[Am]cot
You had [F]one eye [G]in the mi[Em]rror
[Am]As you w[F]atched yourself Gavo[C]tte
And all the [G]girls dreamed
that [F]they'd be your partner

[Chorus 1]
They'd be your partner and
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is a[C]bout you
You're so vain [Am](you're so vain)
I'll [F]bet you think this song is a[G]bout you
Don't you?
Don't you?

[Verse 2]
Oh, you [Am]had me several years ago
When [F]I was still quite n[Am]aive
When you [Am]said that we made
such a pretty pair
And [F]that you would never [Am]leave
But you [F]gave a[G]way the [Em]things you [Am]loved
And [F]one of them was [C]me
I had some [G]dreams,
they were [F]clouds in my coffee

[Chorus 2]
Clouds in my coffee and
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is a[C]bout you
You're so vain [Am](you're so vain)
I'll [F]bet you think this song is a[G]bout you
Don't you?
Don't you?

[Solo 1]
Don't you?
[Am][Am][F][Am]
[Am][Am][F][Am]
[F][G][Em][Am][F][C]
I had some [G]dreams,
they were [F]clouds in my coffee

[Chorus 3]
Clouds in my coffee and
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is a[C]bout you
You're so vain [Am](you're so vain)
I'll [F]bet you think this song is a[G]bout you
Don't you?
Don't you?

[Verse 3]
Well I [Am]hear you went up to Saratoga
And [F]your horse, naturally, [Am]won
Then you [Am]flew your Learjet up to Nova Scotia
To see the [F]total eclipse of the [Am]sun
Well, you're [F]where you [G]should be
[Em]all the [Am]time
And [F]when you're not, you're [C]with
some underworld [G]spy
Or the [F]wife of a close friend

[Chorus 4]
Wife of a close friend and
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is a[C]bout you
You're so vain [Am](you're so vain)
I'll [F]bet you think this song is a[G]bout you
Don't you?
Don't you?

[Interlude 1]
Don't you?
[C][C][Dm][C]

[Outro 1]
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is [C]about you
[C]You're so vain
You [Dm]probably think this song is [C]about you
[Repeat and fade]
