Chord/Tab song: Blue Valley Songbird

She was born in [G]a place called Blue Vall[D7]ey[G]

At the [C]foot of the Tennessee [G]hills

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

And the [A7]sound of the Blue Whippoor[D7]will

But [G]there was no [D7]peace in the [G]valley

Her [C]daddy a cruel ruthless [G]man

[C]Used and abused her [G]mind and her [Em]body

So her [G]mama said [D7]run while you [G]can

So at fifteen she [D7]took to the [G]highway

Be[C]longings and guitar in [G]hand

And she [C]buried herself in her [G]mu?[Em]sic

The [G]one thing she [D7]did under[G]stand


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

Her voice has that high lonesome [D7]sound

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

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

She hopes [D7]someday she will [G]make it

And [C]everyone says that she [G]will

When [C]she comes to town [G]crowds flock around

To see the [A7]girl from the Tennessee [D7]hills

She writes [G]letters back [D7]home to her [G]momma

In [C]care of the preacher in [G]town

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

And so her [G]daddy can[D7]not track her [G]down


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

Whenever she turns off the [D7]lights

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

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


Blue dress [B7]blue shoes a [C]blue Cadi[G]llac

A band dressed in blue by her [D7]side

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

Cause the [C]Blue Valley [G]songbird is [D7]singing to[G]night


One nighters [B7]honky tonks [C]years flying [G]by

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

Expressing the [B7]feelings [C]she holds in[G]side

And the [C]Blue Valley [G]songbird is [D7]singing to[G]night

Oh the [C]Blue Valley [G]songbird is [D7]singing to[G]night

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