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