A (x02220@1)                                        EI (022100@1)did all of the things that you wanted me to



Bm walk up



Bm (x24432@1)                    A (x02220@1)    EI (022100@1)went downtown with my pocket knife,

Bm (x24432@1)                      A (x02220@1)        ECut (022100@1)your other man, but I spared his life

Bm (x24432@1)          A (x02220@1)            EValerie (022100@1)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 (x2444x@1)                            EValerie (022100@1)what's the matter with me?

A (x02220@1)                    EI (022100@1)never ever done you no wrong

B (x2444x@1)                     E (022100@1)       AI (x02220@1)sing the blues nearly all night long.

B (x2444x@1)                          EValerie (022100@1)what the matter with me?

A (x02220@1)                    EYou (022100@1)know I'd do anything that you'd say

Bm (x24432@1)                       A (x02220@1)                 EI (022100@1)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?
