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
