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.
