Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983 in Southgate, London, died 23 July 2011 in Camden, London) was an English singer and composer, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz, rock 'n' roll and Rhythm and Blues.
Her musical formation went through listening to such jazz legends as Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan; she was later influenced by contemporary metropolitan popular music as well. She represented a union of these aesthetics: a happy fusion of '40s jazz

*from 'Back To Black (2006)*
*CAPO 2nd FRET*
(Original Key: A)
Verse 1:
D6 G#m7b5 All I can ever be to you, is a darkness that we knew, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# And this regret I got ac-customed to.
D6 G#m7b5 Once it was so right, when we were at our high, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# Waiting for you in the ho-tel at night.
Verse 2:
D6 G#m7b5 I knew I hadn't met my match, but every moment we could snatch. Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# I don't know why I got so attached.
D6 G#m7b5 It's my responsibility, and you don't owe nothing to me, Gmaj7F#m7Em9F#m7 But to walk away; I have no ca-pacity.
Chorus 1:
GEmF#mBm He walks a-way; the sun goes down. GEmF#mBm He takes the day, but I'm grown. GEmF#mBm And in your grey, in this blue shade, E7F#mG My tears dry on their own.
Verse 3:
D6 G#m7b5 I don't understand; why do I stress a man, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# When there's so many better things at hand?
D6 G#m7b5 We could a never had it all; we had to hit a wall, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# So this is in-evita-ble withdrawal.
Verse 4:
D6 G#m7b5 Even if I stop wanting you, a per-spective pushes through, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# I'll be some next man's other woman soon.
D6 G#m7b5 I can't play myself again, I should just be my own best friend, Gmaj7F#m7Em9F#m7 Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men.
Chorus 2:
GEmF#mBm He walks a-way; the sun goes down. GEmF#mBm He takes the day, but I'm grown. GEmF#mBm And in your grey, in this blue shade, E7F#mG My tears dry on their own.
Bridge 1:
G/A So we are history; your shadow covers me, the sky above, a blaze...
Chorus 3:
F#sus4F#Bm7 He walks away; the sun goes down. G He takes the day, but I'm grown. A7 And in your grey, in this blue shade, my tears dry on their own.
Verse 5:
D6 G#m7b5 I wish I could say no regrets, and no e-motional debts, Gmaj7F#m7Em9D/F#GE/G# 'Cos as we kiss good-bye the sun sets.
D6 G#m7b5 So we are history; the shadow covers me, Gmaj7F#m7Em9F#m7 The sky above a blaze that only lovers see.
Chorus 4:
GEmF#mBm He walks a-way; the sun goes down. GEmF#mBm He takes the day, but I'm grown. GEmF#mBm And in your grey, in this blue shade, E7F#mG My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 5:
GEmF#mBm He walks a-way; the sun goes down. GEmF#mBm He takes the day, but I'm grown. GEmF#mBm And in your grey, in this blue shade, E7F#mG My tears dry on their own.
Chorus 6:
GEmF#mBm He walks a-way; the sun goes down. GEmF#mBm He takes the day, but I'm grown. GEmF#mBm And in your grey, in this blue shade, GEmF#mBm My tears dry...

Bridge 1:
D This face in my dreams, seizes my guts; G E7b9 He floods me with dread. DG E7b9 Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes, by the bed. DG E7b9 Pour myself over him; moon spilling in, CBmD#maj7 And I wake up a-lone.
Verse 3:
AG# If I was my heart, I'd rather be restless. C#mC The second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless. Emaj7C#m This ache in my chest, as my day is done now. CF#mF The dark covers me and I cannot run now.
Verse 4:
AG# My blood running cold; I stand before him. C#mC It's all I can do to as-sure him. Emaj7C#m When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight. CF#mF Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light.
Bridge 2:
D This face in my dreams, seizes my guts; G E7b9 He floods me with dread. DG E7b9 Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed. DG E7b9 Pour myself over him; moon spilling in, CBmD#maj7 And I wake up a-lone. CBmD#maj7 And I wake up a-lone. CBmD#maj7 And I wake up a-lone. CBmD#maj7 And I wake up a-lone.
