G                              
She arrives in all her splendor  
      C                       
Every night at nine o'clock 
        D7                               
And her chariot is the cross town bus  
                          G       
That stops right down the block 
  
                               
Now the old piano minstrel  
          C                      
Plays her tune as she walks in 
        D7                             
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar  
           G       
is home again 
  

Chorus 
                       C      G         
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar  
                   C      G         
She rules this smokey kingdom 
                C    G             
Her scepter is a wine glass  
         A7               D7        
And this bar stool is her throne 
  
        G       C     G             
Now the jesters flock around her  
             C       G        
Tryin to win her favours 
              C        G       
To see which one will take  
    C            G      D7     G      
The Queen Of the Silver Dollar home 
  


                                   
Now the royal dress is satin  
       C                           
It's shabby and it's torn 
        D7                                   
The royal jewels are rhinestones  
                              G      
The shoes are scuffed and worn 
  
         G                            
Of the many roads she's been down 
        C                           
And the places that she's seen 
      D7                       
Well they all look at her and say  
             G                
God save the Queen 
  

REPEAT Chorus 
             
                       
The Queen of the Silver Dollar's  
          C                       
Is not as haughty as she seems 
      D7                        
She was once an ordinary girl  
              G  
With ordinary dreams  
  
  
But there’s a man who found her  
       C                            
And he brought her to this world 
    D7                               
He’s the one who made a Queen  
                    G       
Of a simple country girl  

  
REPEAT Chorus to outro.
