        D                        
And the king and the queen of the 
     D C
prom
G                      G/B       
Riding around with the car top 
           C
down and the radio on
G                 D    D C
Nobody looked any finer
       G                    C
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway 
Diner
G                      F         
We never knew we could want more 
                 E
than that out of life
       Am         Am/B        C  
Surely Brenda and Eddie would 
         D         G
always know how to survive


   G/F    G/E    D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
G      G/F    G/E    D
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Brenda and Eddy were still going 
                D                  
steady in the summer of seventy 
    D C
five
G                     G/B        
When they decided the marriage 
              C
would be at the end of July
G                       D     D C
Everyone said they were crazy
G                           C
Brenda you know that you're much too
 lazy
G                   F            
Eddie could never afford to live 
             E
that kind of life
        Am            Am/B   C   
Oh, but there we were waving 
       D         G
Brenda and Eddie goodbye


   G/F    G/E    D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh


           C
Well, they got an apartment with 
deep pile carpet
      D                        G
And a couple of paintings from Sears
  C
A big waterbed that they bought with
 the bread
         D                     G
They had saved for a couple of years
     C
They started to fight when the money
 got tight
         D                        
And they just didn't count on the 
Em         Am
tears, woh oh, woh oh...yeah rock n 
roll

           C
Well, they lived for a while in a 
very nice style
         D                         G
But it's always the same in the end
     C
They got a divorce as a matter of 
course
         D                    
And they parted the closest of 
        G
friends
         C
Then the king and the queen went 
back to the green
            D                  
But you can never go back there 
  Em       Am     D
again, oh oh, oh oh


G

         D                     D 
already by the summer of seventy 
C
five
         G                      
From the high to the low to the end 
G/B
of the show
        C
For the rest of their lives
     G                      
They couldn't go back to the 
 D       D C
greasers
    G                           C
The best they could do was pick up 
their pieces
G                         F      
We always knew they would both 
                E
find a way to get by
Am           Am/B        C      
That's all I heard about Brenda 
    D
and Eddie
Am             Am/B         C   
Can't tell you more cause I told
       D
 you already
    Am          Am/B   C          
And here we are waving Brenda and 
D         G
Eddie goodbye


   G/F    G/E    D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
G  G/F    G/E    D
