This is the story of valerie rose,
Am         F           G           Am
Tied up and waiting and no where to go,
Am             F   G           Am

         C            G
Hear the long, lonely cry
Am                               F
From the bottom of the river that won't ever dry

And its too late for valerie

Am             F            G              Am 
She's out there just picking flowers by the road,
Am          F         G          Am
Along come a man with no where to go,
Am            F        G                Am
Took her to the river, and there she was done,

This is the story of valerie rose

Bridge:

G           F            C
When did she want to come back
G          F             C
Maybe i'll hear her gonna cry
G           F       
Did you even listen

Did you ever
 (silent)       (Am on rose)
