Harper Valley P.T.A. Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
I want [G]to tell you all the story bout
the Harper Valley widow wife
Who had [C]a teenage daughter who
attended Harper Valley Junior High
Well [G]her daughter came home one afternoon
and didn't even stop to play
She [C]said mama I got a note here from
the [D]Harper [G]Valley PTA

[Verse 2]
The note said Mrs Johnson you're a
wearing your dresses way too high
It's re[C]ported you've been drinking and a
running round with men and goin' wild
We [G]don't believe you ought to be
a bringing up your little girl this way
It [C]was signed by the secretary
[D]Harper [G]Valley [Eb]PTA

[Verse 3]
Well it [Ab]happened that the PTA was
gonna meet that very afternoon
They [Db]were sure surprised when Mrs Johnson
wore her miniskirt into the room
She [Ab]walked up to the blackboard and I
recall the things she had to say
She said I'd [Db]like to address this meeting
[Eb]of the Harper Vall[Ab]ey PTA

[Verse 4]
Now there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
and seven times he asked me for a date
And Mrs [Db]Taylor sure seems to use
a lotta ice whenever he's away
And Mr [Ab]Baker can you tell us why your secretary
had to leave this town
[Db]And shouldn't wodow Jones
be told to keep
Her [Eb]window shades all pulled
completely [Ab]down[E]

[Verse 5]
Well Mr [A]Harper couldn't make it cause
he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
And if [D]you smell Shirley Thompson's breath
you'll find she's had a little nip of gin
When [A]you have the nerve to tell me that
you think that as a mother I'm not fit
Well this is [D]just a little Payton Place
[E]and you're all Harper Valley hypo[A]crites
No I wouldn't put you on because it really
did it happened just this way
The day my [D]mama socket it to
the [E]Harper [A]Valley PTA
The day [D]my mama socket it
to the [E]Harper Valley PTA
[A]
