Queen Of 1959 chords by Dion

[Intro]

C Dm C  F G C F C   C Dm C  F G C F C


[Verse]

               Dm G           C  F C
The attic's filled with records unheard of for many years
             Dm  G           C
When the radio plays old songs she has no time for tears
              Am G     Am     F
She skipped the class reunion for the homecoming queen
              C      G           F  C
And she knows you can't go back, friends, to sweet little sixteen.

[Chorus]

      F    G7   Am
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
F      G7       Am       F
A dedicated lady, she's got love for her family
     Am        F
And she sure looks good to me
     G
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
      C
She's a lady.

[Verse]

          Dm  G                C F C
My favorite cheer leader finds her hair streaked with grey.
           Dm  G           C
Instead of drive-in movies she'd rather see a play.
          Am G          F
I know that her initials are carved in a desk somewhere
                 C   G               F  C
And like rock and roll heroes, ponytails have been combed from her hair.


[Chorus]

      F    G7   Am
And the Queen of 1959 is happy trying to be
F      G7      Am         F
A dedicated mother and a wife and a friend to me
     Am        F
And she sure looks good to me
     G
She's my everything, she treats me like a king
     C
She's a lady.
