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
