[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I want to tell you all the story 'bout
A Harper Valley widowed wife
Who had a [F]teenage daughter
That attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well, her [C]daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
And she said, [F]"mom, I got a note here
[G]from the Harper Valley PT[C]A"
Well, the note said, "Mrs. Johnson
You're wearin' your dresses way too high
It's been re[F]ported you've been drinking
And running round with men and goin' wild
Now we [C]don't believe
you ought to be bringin' up
Your little girl this way"
And it was [F]signed by the Secretary
[G]Harper Valley PT[C]A[Ab]

[Verse 2]
Well, it [Db]happened that the PTA
Was gonna meet that very afternoon
And, boy, were [F#]they surprised
When Mrs. Johnson wore
her miniskirt into the room
And as she [Db]walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
She said, "I'd [F#]like to address this meeting
[Ab]of the Harper Valley PT[Db]A
Now, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
And seven times he's asked me for a date
And Mrs. [F#]Taylor sure seems
to use a lotta ice
Whenever he's away
And Mr. [Db]Baker, can you tell us why
Your secretary had to leave this town?
And shouldn't [F#]widow Jones
be told to keep
Her [Ab]window shades
all pulled com[Db]pletely [A]down

[Verse 3]
Now, Mr. [D]Harper couldn't be here
Cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if you [G]smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
And then you [D]have the nerve to tell me
As a mother, you think that I ain't fit
Well, this is [G]just a little Peyton Place
And [A]you're all Harper Valley hypo[D]crites
Now, I wouldn't put you on
because it really did
It happened just this way
That day my [G]mama socked it
to the [A]Harper Valley PT[D]A
That day my [G]mama socked it
to the [A]Harper Valley PT[D]A
