I want to tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife
            C7
Who had a teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High
           G7
Well her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play
         C7                              D7               G7
She said Mom I got a note here from the Harper Valley P.T.A.
    G7
The note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high
       C7
It's reported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild
        G7
And we don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way
         C7                      D7               G7
It was signed by the secretary, Harper Valley P.T.A. 
 
          G7
Well, it happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon
           C7
They were sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room
            G7
And as she walked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say
               C7                                  D7               G7
She said, I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley P.T.A.
              Ab7
Well there's Bobby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a
date
         Db7
Misses Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away
           Ab7
And Mister Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town
               Db7                             Eb7
And shouldn't Widow Jones be told to keep her window shades all pulled 
            Ab7
completely down?
 
    A7
Well Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar
again
            D7
And if you smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip
of gin
         A7
Then you have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit
             D7                             E7
Well this is just a little Peyton Place and you're all Harper Valley
A7
hypocrites.  
 
     A7
No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did , it happend just this way
           D7                    E7              A7
The day my Mama socked it to the Harper Valley P.t.A.  
           Ab7                    Bb7              Eb7
