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

F                                          C
I did all of the things that you wanted me to



Bm walk up



Gm                      F      C
I went downtown with my pocket knife,

Gm                        F          C
Cut your other man, but I spared his life

Gm            F              C
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?



G                              C
Valerie what's the matter with me?

  F                      C
I never ever done you no wrong

G                       C         F
I sing the blues nearly all night long.

G                            C
Valerie what the matter with me?

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

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