Valerie



Run For The Roses



(Garcia/Hunter)





A                                        E

Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you?



A                                          E

I did all of the things that you wanted me to







Bm walk up







Bm                      A      E

I went downtown with my pocket knife,



Bm                        A          E

Cut your other man, but I spared his life



Bm            A              E

Valerie won't you be good to me?







Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you?



Come on, come Baby, and tell me true



Hey now Baby, what did I do?



I shot my dog 'cause he growled at you



Valerie won't you be good to me?







B                              E

Valerie what's the matter with me?



  A                      E

I never ever done you no wrong



B                       E         A

I sing the blues nearly all night long.



B                            E

Valerie what the matter with me?



             A                      E

You know I'd do anything that you'd say



Bm                         A                   E

I can't understand why you tell me "Please go 'way"







I ain't afraid of the cold, cruel world outside



No chicken little running from a falling sky



The only thing trouble's me is you.



If you leave me what will I do?



Valerie won't you be good to me?







You got me down on the knees of my shaking feet



Can't play the blues 'cause for you I drop the beat



Valerie what your complaint?



I try to be everything I ain't



Valerie won't you be good to me?
