Harper Valley PTA

SHEET MUSIC

[Verse 1] - - - I want to [G7] tell you all a story 'bout a Harper Valley widowed wife, who had a [C7] teenage daughter who attended Harper Valley Junior High.
Well her [G7] daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play.  She said [C7] Mom I got a note here from the [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7]

The [G7] note said Misses Johnson, you're wearing your dresses way too high.   It's [C7] reported you've been drinking and a runnin' round with men and going wild.
And we [G7] don't believe you ought to be a bringing up your little girl this way.   It was [C7] signed by the secretary, [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A.  [G7]

[Verse 2] - - - Well, it [G7] happened that the P.T.A. was gonna meet that very afternoon.  They were [C7] sure surprised when Misses Johnson wore her miniskirt into the room.
And as she [G7] walked up to the blackboard I still recall the words she had to say.  She said, I'd [C7] like to address this meeting of the [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7]

Well there's [G7] Bobby Taylor, sitting there and seven times he's asked me for a date.   Misses [C7] Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away.
And Mister [G7] Baker can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town.  And shouldn't [C7] Widow Jones be told to keep her [D7] window shades all pulled  completely [G7] down?
 
[Verse 3] - - - Well [G7] Mister Harper couldn't be here 'cause he stayed to long at Kelly's Bar again.  And if you [C7] smell Shirley Tompson's breath you'll find she's had a little nip of gin.
Then you [G7] have the nerve to tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit.   Well this is [C7] just a little Peyton Place and [D7] you're all Harper Valley hypo-[G7]-crites.  
 
[Outro] - - - No, I [G7] wouldn't put you on 
because it really did , it happened just this way.
The day my [C7] Mama socked it to 
the [D7] Harper Valley P.T.A. [G7]
