[A] I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife
[Db] who [D] had a teenage [A] [D] daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
[A] [D]
[A] Well, her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to lay.
And [D] she said, Mama, got a note here [E] from the Harper Valley [A] PTA.
[Am]
Well, [A] the note said, Mrs.
Johnson, you're wearing your dress way too high.
[D] It's recorded you've been drinking and or running around with men and going wild.
[A] And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way.
And it [D] was signed by the [E] Secretary Harper Valley [A] PTA.
[F]
[G] [Bb] Well, it happened that the PTA was going to meet that very afternoon.
[Eb] We were sure surprised when Mrs.
Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room.
And [Bb] as she walked up to the blackboard, I can still recall the words she had to say.
She [Eb] said, I'd like to address this [F] meeting on the Harper Valley [Bbm] [Bb] PTA.
Well, there's Bobby Taylor sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.
And [Eb] Mrs.
Taylor sure seems to use a lot of eyes whenever he's away.
And [Bb] Mr.
Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town?
And [Eb] shouldn't Quentin Jones be told to [F] keep her when the shade's almost [Bb] completely down?
[Gb]
Well, [B] Mr.
Harper couldn't be here cause he stayed too long at Kelly's bar again.
And [E] if you smell Shirley Cox's breath, you'll find she's had a little nipple in.
And [B] then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.
Well, this [E] is just a little patent place [Gb] and you're all Harper Valley [B] hypocrites.
No, I wouldn't put you on because you really did.
It happened just this way.
The day [E] my mama stopped you to [Gb] the Harper Valley PTA.
