Chords for Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley P.T.A. (Karen Waldrup Cover)

_ _ _ Hey there, _ Karen Waldrop here.
_ I want to sing you guys a little story song about _ people
judging people.
_ If you're going through a little something something like that today,
I'm gonna go jump in a lake.
_ _ _ Here's a song for you.
I wanna tell you a story about a Harper Valley [A] widow wife.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
Had a teenage daughter who attended
Harper Valley Junior High. _ _ _ _
Well, her [Db] daughter came home one [A] afternoon and didn't even stop to play. _ _ _ _
She said, Mom, I got a note [B] here from the Harper Valley [A] PTA. _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, the note said,
Mrs.
Johnson, you're [E] wearing this dress is way too high. _ _ _ _
[A] It's been reported you've been drinking
and running around.
And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ we don't [E] believe you ought [A] to be bringing [E] up your little girl this way. _ _ _ _
And it was signed by the Secretary Harper Valley [A] PTA.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] Well, it happened that PTA was gonna [E] meet
that very [Bb] _ [E] afternoon.
_ [Bb] _ _ _
[Ebm] They were sure [B] surprised when Mrs.
[Bb] Johnson wore [B] her pretty skirt [Eb] into the room. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] And as she walked [E] up to the [C] blackboard, I still [Em] recall the words she [Bb] had to say.
_ _ _ _ She [Eb] said, I'd like to address [F] this meeting of the [Bb] PTA. _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, there's Bobby [B] Taylor sitting [Bb] there
and seven times he's asked me for a date. _ _ _ _ _
Mrs.
Taylor [Eb] sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever
he's away. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] And Mr.
Baker, can you tell me why your [Gb] secretary had [Bb] to leave this town? _ _ _ _
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told [Fm] to keep her window shades [Bb] completely down?
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
[B] Mr.
Baker couldn't make it because he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again.
[Em] _ _ [B] _ _ _
And if you smell Shirley
Thompson's breath, you'll surely find she's had a little nip of gin. _ _ _ _
And you have the nerve to tell
me that you think that as a mother I'm not fit.
_ _ _ _ Well, this is just a little hatin' [Gb] place in your
Harper Valley, [B] Chris.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[B] No, I wouldn't put [E] you on because [B] it really did.
It happened just this [E] way.
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] The day my mama socked it to [Db] the Harper Valley PTA.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ The [E] day my mama socked it to [Db] the Harper Valley [B] PTA.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [B] _
_ _ I hope you're having a great day.
And if you're feeling it [Gb] today and someone's
[N] judging you, just love them back.
I hope you have a great day
and share the video and hope you'll be my friend.
Karen Waldrop.
Have a great day. _ _ _ _ _
