[Verse]
Em A D G D
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
Em A D
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
Bm A Bm G
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
D A G D
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
G A7 Bm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
G A7 Bm G
B dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
Bm G
And she sure looks good to me
A
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
D
She's a lady.

[Verse]
Em A D G D
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
Em A D
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
Bm A G
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
D A G D
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
G A7 Bm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
G A7 Bm G
B dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
Bm G
And she sure looks good to me
A
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
D
She's a lady.
