Poor Valley Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
She could [G]never give up
the homestead on the [D]farm
Where they handed off tobacco
in the big tobacco [G]barn
And the long straight rows that ran
From the house down to the [D]road
That went to AP Carter's door
down the logging truck she [G]rode

[Verse 2]
Oh, she'd [C]sit and she'd gaze
at the [G]foggy mountain top
Where the [D]swift hawk circled 'round
the clinch mountain [G]rocks
At the [C]school down in Hiltons she
[G]would read about the world
Cre[D]ated to be conquered by this poor

[Interlude 1]
valley girl
[G][C][D][C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Her [G]mother was an Addington
from over Copper [D]Creek
Her father was of sturdy stock,
she was royal but [G]meek
Her laughter was infectious,
her music was pure [D]joy
She'd win the hearts of many
men as she had many a boy
[G]

[Verse 4]
Her mother became famous,
Maybelle and her [D]guitar
With sisters Helen and Anita,
the family was four [G]star
She gave the world two daughters
And [C]a son [G]with auburn [D]curls
And I thank God that He gave [A]me
[D]This sweet poor valley girl
[G]

[Verse 5]
Oh, she'd [C]sit and she'd gaze
at [G]the foggy mountain top
Where the [D]swift hawk circled 'round
the clinch mountain [G]rocks
At [C]the school down in Hiltons she
would [G]read about [D]the world[G]
Cre[D]ated to be conquered
by this poor valley [G]girl
