[Verse]
F#m B E A E
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
F#m B E
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
C#m B C#m A
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
E B A E
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.
[Chorus]
A B7 C#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
A B7 C#m A
C# dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
C#m A
And she sure looks good to me
B
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
E
She's a lady.

[Verse]
F#m B E A E
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
F#m B E
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
C#m B A
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
E B A E
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.
[Chorus]
A B7 C#m
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
A B7 C#m A
C# dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
C#m A
And she sure looks good to me
B
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
E
She's a lady.
