Queen Of The Silver Dollar
Shel Silverstein

CAPO 2nd Fret

     D                               G
She arrives in all her splendor each night at nine o'clock
    A                                                      D        
Her chariot is the crosstown bus that stops right down the block
                                      G
Then the old piano minstrel plays her song as she walks in
        A                                 D
And the Queen of the Silver Dollar's home again

CHORUS
          D            G      D
She's the Queen of the Silver Dollar
                   G     D
And she rules this smoky kingdom
            G    D                E7               A7
Her scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
        D       G     D                    G       D
Now the jesters flock around her trying to win her favors
             G        D        G            A             D                 
To see which one will take the Queen of the Silver Dollar home

Her royal gown is a satin dress that's stained and slightly torn
Her royal jewels are rhinestones and her shoes are scuffed and worn
Of the many roads she's traveled and the places that she's seen
They all look at her and say God save the Queen.

REPEAT CHORUS

The Queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty as she seems
She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams
But theres a man who found and won her and he brought her to this world
Hes the one who made a Queen of a simple country girl

REPEAT CHORUS
