Verse 1
(E minor) I love my boys more than I love my girl
Try not to (D major) show it,
(E minor) she (C major) knows like I (B major) knew
I have my (E minor) father's legs,
long kissed with (F major) summer
Old fear of Father (D major) keeps me
in Mother (C major) 's mir (E minor) ror
Sing to my boys,
back to your own bed, girl
Cold fills the (D major) bottle,
he'll (E minor) get the swad (C major) dling and my (B major) milk
I have my (E minor) mother's gaze,
pastures an (F major) d towers
Soft drawing (D minor) him near (D major) to
her down cast severe (E minor)
Verse 2
Oh, (E minor) Valerie, Valerie
(F major) Know (Csus4) the hand (F major) that feeds (Csus4) you
The (F major) hand that keeps you
(C major) The hand that (E minor) owns the keys
Keeps you pretty
Don't (F major) look (Csus4) to me (F major) to hold you
(Csus4) I shape (F major) and mould you
(Csus4) So (F major) you can (E minor) get the ring
While you're still pretty (C major)
(Csus4) (C major) (D minor)
Verse 3
(E minor)
(B major) Rock a bye (E minor) boys,
run along daddy's girl
You're blushing (D major) youthful dewy
(C major) bloom cut (E minor) from my (B major) tree
(E minor) You'll learn your mother's game
Seal your (F major) re flection for (E minor) his af (D major) fection
(D minor) Now against me, (F major) you'll play
(E minor) So on it goes, never to trust a girl
All system (D minor) rivals (D major) to be ex (C major) pected
in his (B major) world (B minor)
(E minor) (Esus4) (E minor)
Verse 4
Valerie
(F major) Know (Csus4) the hand (F major) that feeds you
(Csus4) The (F major) hand that keeps (Csus4) you
Can (C major) put you (E minor) on the street
At least you're pretty
Don't (F major) look (Csus4) to me
for sweet (F major) ness
(Csus4) This (F major) borrowed (C major) dress
holds (E minor) nothing sweet
Outro 1
