Intro
B C#m B E F# B E B B C#m B E F# B E B
[Verse]
C#m F# B E B
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
C#m F# B
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
G#m F# G#m E
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
B F# E B
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
E F#7 G#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
E F#7 G#m E
G# dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
G#m E
And she sure looks good to me
F#
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
B
She's a lady.

[Verse]
C#m F# B E B
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
C#m F# B
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
G#m F# E
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
B F# E B
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
E F#7 G#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
E F#7 G#m E
G# dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
G#m E
And she sure looks good to me
F#
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
B
She's a lady.
