You're So Vain
Carly Simon (1971)
4/4 | d - X u - u d u |
1 2 & & 4 &
You | [Am] walked into the par- | ty like you were | [F] walking onto a | [Am] yacht
Your hat stra- | tegic'lly dipped be- | low one eye
Your | [F] scarf it was apri- | [Am] cot
You had | [F↓] one eye [G↓] in the | [Em7↓] mirror [Am↓] as you | [F↓] watched
yourself ga- | [C↓] votte,
And all the | [1/2G] girls dreamed that | [F] they'd be your partner |
They'd be your partner, and...
Chorus
[C] You're so | vain, you | [F] probably think this song is a- | [C] bout you
You're so | [Am] vain, I'll | [F] bet you think this song is a- | [G] bout you
Don't you? | Don't you? ...
You | [Am] had me several | years ago when I | [F] was still quite na- | [Am] ive
Well you | said that we made such a | pretty pair
And | [F] that you would never | [Am] leave
But you | [F↓] gave a- [G↓] way the | [Em7↓] things you [Am↓] loved and | [F↓]
one of them was | [C↓] me
I had some | [1/2G] dreams, they were | [F] clouds in my coffee |
| [F] Clouds in my coffee, and...
Chorus
[C] You're so | vain, you | [F] probably think this song is a- | [C] bout you
You're so | [Am] vain, I'll | [F] bet you think this song is a- | [G] bout you
Don't you? | Don't you? ...

[C] You're so | vain, you | [F] probably think this song is a- | [C] bout you
You're so | [Am] vain, I'll | [F] bet you think this song is a- | [G] bout you
Don't you? | Don't you? ...
Well I | [Am] hear you went up to | Saratoga and
[F] your horse nat'rally | [Am] won
Then you | flew your lear jet up to | Nova Scotia
To see the | [F] total eclipse of the | [Am] sun
Well you're | [F↓] where you [G↓] should be | [Em7↓] all the [Am↓] time
and | [F↓] when you're not you're | [C↓] with
Some underworld | [1/2G] spy or the | [F] wife of a close friend |
| [F] Wife of a close friend, and...
Chorus
[C] You're so | vain, you | [F] probably think this song is a- | [C] bout you
You're so | [Am] vain, I'll | [F] bet you think this song is a- | [G↓] bout you
