Blue Valley Songbird
Composição de (Dolly Parton)
G                       D7          G 
She was born in a place called Blue Valley 

       C                     G 
At the foot of the Tennessee hills 

         C                             G 
With the blue birds and blue bells and blue mountain water 

        A7                        D7 
And the sound of the Blue Whippoorwill 


    G            D7           G 
But there was no peace in the valley 

    C                      G 
Her daddy a cruel ruthless man 

C                   G            Em 
Used and abused her mind and her body 

       G         D7            G 
So her mama said run while you can 


                  D7          G 
So at fifteen she took to the highway 

  C                      G 
Belongings and guitar in hand 

        C                     G  Em 
And she buried herself in her mu-sic 

    G             D7       G 
The one thing she did understand 

  
                     B7           C             G 
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet 

                                 D7 
Her voice has that high lonesome sound 

    G             B7            C           G 
She hurts and her songs are the best way to show it 

       C           G              D7        G 
So the Blue Valley songbird keeps traveling around 


          D7               G 
She hopes someday she will make it 

    C                      G 
And everyone says that she will 

     C                 G 
When she comes to town crowds flock around 

           A7                      D7 
To see the girl from the Tennessee hills 


           G            D7          G 
She writes letters back home to her momma 

   C                       G 
In care of the preacher in town 

        C                    G             Em 
They're sacred to her so she reads them at church 

           G        D7            G 
And so her daddy cannot track her down 

  
                     B7           C            G 
And she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby 

                           D7 
Whenever she turns off the lights 

        G         B7             C          G 
She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy 

     C            G            D7          G 
From memories and miseries and dreams gone awry 

  
           B7           C        G 
Blue dress blue shoes a blue Cadillac 

                              D7 
A band dressed in blue by her side 

G           B7          C           G 
Instruments tied to the top and the back 

          C           G           D7        G 
Cause the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight 

  
             B7          C            G 
One nighters honky tonks years flying by 

C           G           D7             G 
She's never made it but Lord knows she tries 

               B7       C           G 
Expressing the feelings she holds inside 

        C           G           D7        G 
And the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight 


       C           G           D7        G 
Oh the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight 

                     B7           C             G 
And she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
