Mosaic Of The San Joaquin Valley

A A Oh, a hapless gangster drunk in Olsen Park F# A D At a quinceanera blasting through the dark A And a small-town dentist who killed his only son F# A D And a Mormon cowboy shining up his gun F# And we're nice A D nice, nice, all so very nice E So many of us turning in the same device A "Where's my teenaged daughter gone?" I heard a man say I whispered in that cowboy's ear, "your daughter's run away" F# And we're nice A D nice, nice, all so very nice E A F# Little children getting home B After supper time E A F# Catfish jumping in the hole B Where the bodies lie E And we sing A F# B E This is our valley life A F# B E This is our valley life A F# B E We hate the summertime A F# E This is our valley life
