And the king and the queen of the prom
 G                                           G/B                                   C                 F  C  F  C 
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
 G                                         D              C 
      Nobody looked any finer
               G                                       C 
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner
 G                                           F                                                     E7 
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
               Am7               G/B                 C                     D                 G 
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
 G                                               D 
Everyone said they were crazy
 G                                             C 
"Brenda you know you're much too lazy
 G                                     F                                                   E7 
Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life."
           Am7                   G/B       C                     D               G 
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.
       F               Em           D 
Oh oh       oh oh     oh oh
           F/C 
They got an apartment with deep pile carpet
             D                                                 G 
And a couple of paintings from Sears
     F/C 
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
                   D                                         G 
They had saved for a couple of years
           F/C 
They started to fight when the money got tight
         D                                                         Em 
And they just didn't count on the tears.
                 A7                 Am7/D

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

For the rest of their lives
           G                                             D                C 
They couldn't go back to the greasers
         G                                                     C 
The best they could do was pick up the pieces
       G                                           F                                           E7 
We always knew they would both find a way to get by
 Am7                   G/B                 C                   D 
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
 Am7                       G/B                 C                   D 
Can't tell you more than I told you already
 Am7                       G/B         C                   D                 G 
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie good
