[Verse]
Cm F A# D# A#
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
Cm F A#
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
Gm F Gm D#
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
A# F D# A#
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
D# F7 Gm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
D# F7 Gm D#
G dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
Gm D#
And she sure looks good to me
F
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
A#
She's a lady.

[Verse]
Cm F A# D# A#
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
Cm F A#
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
Gm F D#
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
A# F D# A#
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
D# F7 Gm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
D# F7 Gm D#
G dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
Gm D#
And she sure looks good to me
F
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
A#
She's a lady.
