    G - C - G - C

 

                      G

1. There's a wonderful world where all you desire

                                                                                  C

    and everything you've longed for is at your fingertips,

                      D                                                 G       - D

    where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips.

                 G

    Where aisles and aisles of dreams await you,

                                                                    C

    and the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air,

                 D                                                            G

     at the end of each working day she's waiting there.

 

              C

    I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket,

                 G                           C         G                                            C  - D

    as the evening sky turns blue, a dream awaits in aisle number two.

 

                      G

2. With my shopping cart I move through the heart of

                                                      C

    a sea of fools so blissfully unaware,

              D                                                                              G       - D

    that they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare.

             G

    The way she moves behind the counter,

                                                                            C

    beneath her white apron her secrets remain hers,

                 D                                                       

    as she bags the groceries, her eyes so bored,

                                      G

    and sure she's unobserved.

 

                C                                                                     G                  C

     I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket, there's nothing I can say,

              G                                                         C     D               Em

    each night I take my groceries and I drift away, and I drift away.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Em

    Guidance from the gods above,

          A7

    at night I pray for the strength to tell her,

       D                                    G

    why I love, I love, I love, I love her so !

     Em

    I take my place in the checkout line,

    A7

    for one moment her eyes meet mine,

           C                          D

    I'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up !

 

              C

    I'm in love with the Queen of the Supermarket

                        G                                     C

    though her company cap covers her hair,

     G                               Em                    C              D                     C

    nothing can hide the beauty waiting there, the beauty waiting there.

              Em                                  D                    - C

              Em                                 D

           Am                                    D

    As I lift my groceries into my car,

              Am                                 G

    I turn back for a moment and catch her smile,

                                F                              D       - D7

    that blows this whole fucking place apart.

 

               C

    I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket,
