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.
