Queen of the Silver Dollar (midi)

A D A A D A

She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar, she rules this smokey kingdom,

A D A B7 E - E7

her scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her thr……one.

A D A A D A

Now the  jesters flock around her, tryin’ to win her favors,

A D A D A E A

to see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home.

A D

1. She arrives in all her splendor each night at nine o'clock,

E E7 A

her  chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block.

D

Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in,

E A

and the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again. + CHORUS

A D

2. Now her royal dress is satin, it's shabby and it's torn,

E E7 A

the royal jewels are rhinestones and the shoes are scuffed and worn.

D

On the many roads she's been down, and the places that she's seen,

E / A

they all look at her and say, “ God save the Queen”.

A D

3. Now the Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty as she seems,

E E7 A

she was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams.

D

But there's a man who found her, and he brought her to this world,

E A

he's the one who made a queen of a simple country girl.

+ CHORUS + CHORUS …..
