Queen of the Silver
Dollar
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 …..
