    Verse 1
    I want to 
    tell you all the story 'bout 

    A Harper Valley widowed wife 

    Who had a 
    teenage daughter 

    That attended Harper Valley Junior High 

    Well, her 
    daughter came home one afternoon 

    And didn't even stop to play 

    And she said, 
    "mom, I got a note here 

    from 
    the Harper Valley 
    PT
    A" 

    Well, the note said, "Mrs. Johnson 

    You're wearin' your dresses way too high 

    It's been 
    re
    ported you've been drinking 

    And running round with men and goin' wild 

    Now we 
    don't believe 

    you ought to be bringin' up 

    Your little girl this way" 


    And it was 
    signed by the Secretary 

    Harper Valley 
    PT

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    it 
    happened 
    that the PTA 

    Was 
    gonna 
    meet 
    that 
    very 
    afternoon 

    And, boy, were 
    they surprised 

    When Mrs. Johnson wore 

    her miniskirt into the room 

    And as she 
    walked up to the blackboard 

    I can still recall the words she had to say 

    She said, "I'd 
    like to address this meeting 

    of the Harper Valley 
    PT

    Now, there's 
    Bobby Taylor sittin' there 

    And seven times he's asked me for a date 

    And Mrs. 
    Taylor sure seems 

    to use a lotta ice 

    Whenever he's away 

    And Mr. 
    Baker, can you tell us why 

    Your secretary had to leave this town? 

    And shouldn't 
    widow Jones 

    be told to keep 

    Her 
    window shades 

    all pulled 
    com
    pletely 
    down 

    Verse 3
    Now, Mr. 
    Harper couldn't be here 

    Cause he stayed too long at Kelly's Bar again 

    And if you 
    smell Shirley Thompson's breath 

    You'll find she's had a little nip of gin 

    And then you 
    have the nerve to tell me 

    As a mother, you think that I ain't fit 

    Well, this is 
    just a little Peyton Place 

    And 
    you're all Harper Valley 
    hypo
    crites 

    Now, I  
    wouldn't put you on 

    because it really did 

    It happened just this way 

    That day my 
    mama socked it 

    to the 
    Harper Valley 
    PT

    That day my 
    mama socked it

    Harper Valley

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
