Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF    G+G    A minorAm
Down on your knees before the Queen


Verse 1:
A minorAm                Am7Am7
Sara Berry was a popular bitch. (Mm-hmm.)
A minorAm                         C majorC
Hot bod, hot boy, cheer captain, plus she was rich. (Oh, yeah.)
DmDm
That girl had everything till hiccup and hitch:
   E MajorE
Julie Jenkins lost a leg in a wreck. (Am-pu-ta-ted!)

Verse 2:
A minorAm                   Am7Am7
The nominations for Prom royalty came (Uh-huh.)
A minorAm                       C majorC
Our Sara's senior year, and Queen was her claim (Uh, duh.)
DmDm
Till gossip stirred the student body would name
   E MajorE
Julie Jenkins, Queen of the Prom. (Pi-ty-vote!)
FF             G+G
"Sara," her father said, "Life is a Prom
 A minorAm            C majorC
I know you won't disappoint me and Mom?"


Chorus:
FF       G+G      A minorAm      C majorC
You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown
        FF       G+G    A minorAm  C majorC
You thirst for blood from the roses in hand
   FF       G+G         A minorAm    C majorC
Whoa, you spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
    FF         G+G      A minorAm
As they crown you Queen of High School Land

Break:
 A minorAm
(Check Sara, choose Sara, vote for Sara Berry.)
 A minorAm
(Check Sara, choose Sara, vote for Sara Berry.)


Verse 3:
A minorAm                   Am7Am7
So obsessed, our Sara near lost her mind
A minorAm                C majorC
To life un-Prom-related, Sara was blind;
DmDm
She shoved her squad, her clique, her boyfriend behind
   E MajorE
Still Julie had a hold on the lead. (Poor, poor, Julie...)


Verse 4:
A minorAm                  Am7Am7
Soon Sara's sanity was hung by a thread
A minorAm                  C majorC
Her B.F.F.'s proclaimed her socially dead
DmDm
'Til then, at last, her boyfriend texted and said:
      E MajorE
"I'm taking Julie to the senior Prom." (Love, love, Julie...)
 FF            G+G
"Sara," her father said, "Why be so calm?
    A minorAm
There's just no future for a Princess at Prom"


Chorus:
FF       G+G       A minorAm      C majorC
You taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown
        FF       G+G    A minorAm  C majorC
You thirst for blood from the roses in hand
   FF       G+G         A minorAm    C majorC
Whoa, you spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
    FF         G+G      A minorAm
As they crown you Queen of High School Land


Break:
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF    G+G    A minorAm
Down on your knees before the Queen
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF    G+G    A minorAm
Down on your knees before the Queen


Bridge:
A minorAm             C majorC
Some girls are rational but Sara was not
A minorAm               C majorC
She stared in mirrors thinking one single thought:
FF                 E MajorE
There's seven reasons this crown's not good as got (Julie, Anne, Eunice, Raquel, Marianna, Patricia, Quiara)
DmDm                G+G       BB
And so the night of Prom, mercy! Thus went her plot:  (Marianna, Patricia, Quiara)
N.C.                    E MajorE
"P" is for Patricia drinking poisoned punch
 N.C.                    E MajorE
"R" is for Raquel dashed on a rock-- crunch!
 FF               G+G
"O" is what Anne said when Sara bludgeoned her brains
   A minorAm
"M" is Marianna's marinated remains

But! But!
 E MajorE
"Q" is for Quiara, quiet, drowned in the pool

And "U" is for Eunice's pieces spread round the school
   G+G              A augmentedA
But "E's" are for the easy way in five minutes tops
       BB
A augmentedA one-legg'd girl can bring an "N" for end by calling the cops. (What a bitch.)


Chorus:
FF      G+G      A minorAm      C majorC
You got your silver Sara, you got your crown
       FF       G+G    A minorAm   C majorC
You got their blood on your roses in hand
   FF        G+G         A minorAm   C majorC
Whoa, you donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance
    FF          G+G      A minorAm
As you crowned you Queen of High School Land!
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF  G+G     A minorAm
Down on your knees before the Queen
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF     G+G  A minorAm
Down on your knees before the queen
FF         G+G        A minorAm       C majorC
They wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your crown
     FF         G+G      A minorAm   C majorC
They washed the blood from your fingers and hands
FF   G+G          A minorAm      C majorC
Into a tight straitjacket, small padded cell
       FF        G+G      A minorAm   C majorC
Screaming, "I'm the Queen of High School Land!"
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF    G+G    A minorAm
Down on your knees before the Queen
      FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
       FF  G+G     A minorAm  C majorC
Down on your knees before the Queen
