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?
