Valerie

Run For The Roses

(Garcia/Hunter)


A augmentedA                    E MajorE
Hey Valerie, Baby what's the matter with you?

A augmentedA                     E MajorE
I did all of the things that you wanted me to


B minorBm walk up

B minorBm           A augmentedA   E MajorE
I went downtown with my pocket knife,

B minorBm            A augmentedA     E MajorE
Cut your other man, but I spared his life

B minorBm      A augmentedA       E MajorE
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?


BB               E MajorE
Valerie what's the matter with me?

 A augmentedA           E MajorE
I never ever done you no wrong

BB            E MajorE     A augmentedA
I sing the blues nearly all night long.

BB              E MajorE
Valerie what the matter with me?

       A augmentedA           E MajorE
You know I'd do anything that you'd say

B minorBm             A augmentedA          E MajorE
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
