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

[Intro]
FE7AmG#Cmaj7AmG#DmC#
[Verse 1]
FE7 It's okay in the day; I'm staying busy. AmG# Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he. Cmaj7Am Got so sick of crying, so just lately; G#DmC# When I catch myself, I do a 1-80.
[Verse 2]
FE7 I stay up clean the house; at least I'm not drinking. AmG# Run around just so I don't have to think a-bout thinking. Cmaj7Am That silent sense of content that everyone gets, G#DmC# Just disappears soon as the sun sets.
[Bridge 1]
A# This face in my dreams, seizes my guts; D#G#dim He floods me with dread. A#D#C7 Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes, by the bed. A#D#G#dim Pour myself over him; moon spilling in, G#GmBmaj7 And I wake up a-lone.
[Verse 3]
FE7 If I was my heart, I'd rather be restless. AmG# The second I stop, the sleep catches up and I'm breathless. Cmaj7Am This ache in my chest, as my day is done now. G#DmC# The dark covers me and I cannot run now.
[Verse 4]
FE7 My blood running cold; I stand before him. AmG# It's all I can do to as-sure him. Cmaj7Am When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight. G#DmC# Drowning in me, we bathe under blue light.
[Bridge 2]
A# This face in my dreams, seizes my guts; D#G#dim He floods me with dread. A#D#C7 Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed. A#D#G#dim Pour myself over him; moon spilling in, G#GmBmaj7 And I wake up alone. G#GmBmaj7 And I wake up alone. G#GmBmaj7 And I wake up alone. G#GmBmaj7 And I wake up alone.
