Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  walked into a party; like you are walking  on to  a yacht
 Your hat, strategically dipped below one eye; your scarf it was  an G Am
 apricot
 You had one  eye  in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And  all the girls dreamed that; they’d  be your partner
  They'd be your
 and
You're  so vain, you prob'ly  think this song is about  you
You're  so vain,  I’ll bet  you think this song is about  you don't you don't you
You  had me several years ago; when I  was still quite  naive
Well  you said that we make such a pretty pair and that  you would never
leave
 But you  gave away  the things you loved and one of them was me
I  had some dreams; they were  clouds  in my coffee, Clouds in my coffee and
Well  I hear you went up to Saratoga and your  horse naturally won
Then  you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To  see the total  eclipse  of the sun
   0
 Well you're where you should be all the time and when you're not you're
with
Some  under world spy, or  the wife  of a close friend wife of a close friend and
 I believe this to be pretty close. Have fun with it.
