[A]
I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife, who had [D] a teenage daughter
who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
Well, [A] her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.
And she [D] said, Mama, got a note here [E] from the Harper Valley [A] PTA.
Said, Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dress is way too high.
[D] It's reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild.
[A] And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
[D] And it was signed by the [E] Secretary Harper Valley PTA.
[A] [F]
Well, [Bb] it happened that the PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
And [Ab] they were [Eb] sure surprised when Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room.
And [Bb] as she walked up to the blackboard, I can still recall the words she had to say.
She said, [Eb] I'd like to address this meeting [F] of the Harper Valley [Bb] PTA.
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And [Eb] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
[Bb] And Mr.
Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
[Fm]
[Eb] And shouldn't Quitta Jones be told to keep [F] her window shades all pulled [Bb] completely down?
[Gb]
Well, [B] Mr.
Harper couldn't be here because he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again.
And if [E] you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
And then you [B] have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.
[Gbm] Well, [E] this is just a little patent place [Gb] and you're all Harper [D] Valley [B] hypocrites.
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did, it happened just this way.
The day [E] my mama socked it to [Gb] the Harper Valley PTA.
