Intro
F Gm F A# C F A# F F Gm F A# C F A# F
[Verse]
Gm C F A# F
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
Gm C F
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
Dm C Dm A#
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
F C A# F
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
A# C7 Dm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
A# C7 Dm A#
D dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
Dm A#
And she sure looks good to me
C
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
F
She's a lady.

[Verse]
Gm C F A# F
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
Gm C F
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
Dm C A#
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
F C A# F
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
A# C7 Dm
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
A# C7 Dm A#
D dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
Dm A#
And she sure looks good to me
C
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
F
She's a lady.
