Intro
A Bm A D E A D A A Bm A D E A D A
[Verse]
Bm E A D A
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
Bm E A
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
F#m E F#m D
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
A E D A
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
D E7 F#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
D E7 F#m D
F# dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
F#m D
And she sure looks good to me
E
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
A
She's a lady.
[Instrumental]
D E7 A D E7 A
[Verse]
Bm E A D A
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
Bm E A
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
F#m E D
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
A E D A
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
D E7 F#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
D E7 F#m D
F# dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
F#m D
And she sure looks good to me
E
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
A
She's a lady.
