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
    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.

                   A                                      D
    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
    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.
