[Verse 1]
---------------------
        A7
I wanna tell you all a story
About a Harper Valley widowed wife
          D7
Who had a teenage daughter
Who attended Harper Valley Junior High
          A7
Well, her daughter came home one afternoon
And didn't even stop to play
              D7
And she said, "Mom, I got a note here
         E7                A7
From the Harper Valley PTA"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          A7
Well, the note said, "Mrs. Johnson
You're wearin' your dresses way too high
       D7
It's reported you've been drinking
And arunning 'round with men and goin' wild
       A7
And we don't believe you oughta be
Abringin' up your little girl this way"
           D7
And it was signed by the secretary
E7               A7
Harper Valley PTA

[Verse 3]
---------------------
F7         Bb7
  Well, it happened that the PTA
Was gonna meet that very afternoon
              Eb7
And they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson
Wore her miniskirt into the room
           Bb7
And as she walked up to the blackboard
I can still recall the words she had to say
               Eb7
She said, "I'd like to address this meeting
 F7                    Bb7
Of the Harper Valley PTA" 

[Verse 4]
---------------------
               Bb7
"Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there
And seven times he's asked me for a date
         Eb7
And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice
Whenever he's away
         Bb7
And, Mr. Baker, can you tell us why
Your secretary had to leave this town?
              Eb7
And shouldn't widow Jones be told to keep
    F7                                  Bb7
Her window shades all pulled completely down?"

[Verse 5]
---------------------
F#7           B7
   "Well, Mr. Harper couldn't be here
'Cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again
              E7
And if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath
You'll find she's had a little nip of gin
             B7
And then you have the nerve to tell me
You think that as a mother I'm not fit
              E7
Well, this is just a little Peyton Place
    F#7                          B7
And you're all Harper Valley hypocrites"

[Verse 6]
---------------------
      B7
No, I wouldn't put you on, because it really did
It happened just this way
           E7
The day my mama socked it to
    F#7              B7
The Harper Valley PTA
           E7
The day my mama socked it to
    F#7              B7
The Harper Valley PTA
