Queen Of The Silver Dollar
recorded by Emmylou Harris
written by Shel Silverstein
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.
