Verse:
She was the Queen of the Coast back in nineteen sixty five
D MajorD
Prettier 'n most, she could keep a room alive
A augmentedA
With the catch in her voice and the beehive on her head
E MajorE
Do you remember anything she ever said
A augmentedA
Well, some stars fade faster than the rest
D MajorD
And the promise wore off though she did her best
A augmentedA
She finally looked around for somethin' else to do
E MajorE
What she found was a man who needed what she knew
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
Have you forgotten? Have you forgiven?
E MajorE E7E7 A augmentedA A7A7
Tell me are you livin' just a little in your past every day
D MajorD A augmentedA F minorFm
Time sure has changed you; it's walked right on by you
B minorBm D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
Does it satisfy you to have so little to say?
Verse:
For the next ten years she rode around on the bus
D MajorD
She did washin' and ironin' and pickin' up
A augmentedA
She had a place to stand at the back of the stage
E MajorE
She was there every night, lookin' her age
A augmentedA
She lent her voice, but she gave her heart
D MajorD
And, I guess, that must've been the hardest part
A augmentedA
She figured out exactly what was goin' on
E MajorE
All the love she had given for a song
Bridge:
A augmentedA F minorFm
Then things unravelled like they usually do
D MajorD E MajorE
She got her old heart busted up by husband, number two
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
Have you forgotten? Have you forgiven?
D MajorD E MajorE E7E7 A augmentedA A7A7
Tell me are you livin' just a little in your past every day
D MajorD A augmentedA F minorFm
Time sure has changed you; it's walked right on by you

Does it satisfy you to have so little to say?
Verse:
I'm not quite sure when she got back on the bus
D MajorD
But she's still washin' and ironin' and pickin' up
A augmentedA
If you look all the way to the back of the stage
E MajorE
She's standin' at her mic, lookin' her age
A augmentedA
In a roadstop in Reno at supper time
D MajorD
The waitress comes over with a look in her eye
A augmentedA
Says: "I saw you in Modesto almost thirty years ago
E MajorE
"An' I can still remember every song in your show."
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA
"Please Help Me, I'm Falling." "Don't Come Home A-Drinking."

Well, there's a pair of swingin' doors for every cowboy sweetheart tonight
D MajorD A augmentedA F minorFm
Time sure has changed you; it's walked right on by you
B minorBm D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD E MajorE
Does it satisfy you to have so little to say?
