---VERSE 1:
D5 F5
From the time she could crawl
C5 G5 (Fill1)
She was all draped in macrame.
D5 F5
She was preened and redeemed
C5 G5 (Fill1)
In a church that tried to show the way.
(Guitar 2 plays open chords)

(Fill1 and Fill2 are in the same bar)
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill1) (Fill2)
She was taught to never ask for more,
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill1) (Fill2)
They had no idea of what she had in store.
---CHORUS: (Guitar 1 and 2 plays open chords)
D5 F5 C5 G5
She's the queen of the 21st century,
D5 F5 C5 G5
Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be:
D5 F5 C5 G5
Analog heart, analog nerves, analog brain,
D5 F5 C5 G5
But a fixture of the digital domain.

D5 F5
From the time she could read
C5 G5
She could see that there was urgency,
D5 F5 C5
No debate, just a spate of ignorance
G5
In a splintering community.
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill2)
She could never meet their expectations,
D5 F5 C5 G5 (Fill2)
Then she came to symbolize the nation.
---CHORUS:
D5 F5 C5 G5
She's the queen of the 21st century,
D5 F5 C5 G5
Just a shred of what her parents thought a little girl should be:
D5 F5 C5 G5
Steeped in spite, coddled in fear, drenched in novelty,
D5 F5 C5 G5
But masterful at sensual technology.

---BRIDGE:
D5 G5 D5 C5
She's the queen!
D5 G5 D5 C5
She's the queen, no rules in her empire.
D5 G5 D5 C5
She's the queen, just libido and desire.
D5 G5
She's the lean, mean, fighting machine,
D5 C5
The stuff of modern media lore
D5 C5 F5
And she always knows the score.

---CHORUS:
D5 F5 C5 G5
She's the queen of the 21st century,
D5 F5 C5 G5
Just a ghost of what her parents thought a little girl should be:
D5 F5
Fallen star, black and blue,
C5 G5
Broken hearts, wasted youth,
D5 F5
Rusted cars, twisted roots,
C5 G5
Mental scars, the ugly truth.

---OUTRO: (Play the interlude riff 3 times)
D5 F5 C5 G5
She's the queen of the 21st century
D5 F5 C5 G5
She's the queen of the 21st century
D5 F5
And she's a modern-day polemic,
C5 G5
A walking controversy.

She's the queen!
