(Dolly Parton)
Orig.: A
E A E B7 E
E B7 E
She was born in a place called Blue Valley
A E
At the foot of the Tennessee hills
A
With the blue birds and blue bells
E
And blue mountain water
F#7 B7
And the sound of the Blue Whippoorwill
E B7 E
But there was no peace in the valley
A E
Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man
A E C#m
Used and abused her mind and her body
E B7 E
So her mama said run while you can
E B7 E
So at fifteen she took to the highway
A E
Belongings and guitar in hand
A E C#m
And she buried herself in her music
E B7 E
The one thing she did understand
G#7 A E
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
B7
Her voice has that high, lonesome sound
E G#7 A E
She hurts, and her songs are the best way to show it
A E B7 E
So the Blue Valley songbird keeps traveling around
A E B7 E
E B7 E
She hopes someday she will make it
A E
And everyone says that she will
A E
When she comes to town, crowds flock around
F#7 B7
To see the girl from the Tennessee hills
E B7 E
She writes her letter back home to her mama
A E
In care of the preacher in town
A E C#m
They're sacred to her so she reads them at church
E B7 E
And so her daddy cannot track her down
G#7 A E
And she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby
B7
Whenever she turns off the lights
G#7 A E
She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy
A E B7 E
From mem'ries and miseries and dreams gone awry
G#7 A E
Blue dress, blue shoes, a blue cadillac
B7
A band dressed in blue by her side
E G#7 A E
Instruments tied to the top and the back
A E B7 E
'Cause the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight
G#7 A E
One nighters, honky tonks, years flying by
A E B7 E
She's never made it, but Lord knows she tries
G#7 A E
Expressing the feelings she holds inside
A E B7 E
And the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight
A E B7 E
Oh the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight
G#7 A E
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
