Queen Of The Silver Dollar Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[G]She arrives in all her splendor
Every [C]night at nine o'clock
And her [D7]chariot is the cross town bus
That stops right down the [G]block

Now the old piano minstrel
Plays her [C]tune as she walks in
And the [D7]Queen of the Silver Dollar
is home aga[G]in

[CHORUS]
She's the Queen of the [C]Silver [G]Dollar
She rules this smok[C]ey king[G]dom
Her scepter is a[C] wine[G] glass
And this [A7]bar stool is her [D7]throne

Now the [G]jesters [C]flock [G]around her
Tryin to win [C]her favo[G]urs
To see which o[C]ne will t[G]ake
The [C]Queen Of the [G]Silver [D7]Dollar [G]home

Now the royal dress is satin
It's sh[C]abby and it's torn
The roya[D7]l jewels are rhinestones
The shoes are scuffed and worn[G]

Of the ma[G]ny roads she's been down
And the [C]places that she's seen
Well t[D7]hey all look at her and say
God save the [G]Queen

REPEAT CHORUS

The Queen of the Silver Dollar's
Is not as [C]haughty as she seems
She wa[D7]s once an ordinary girl
With ordinary [G]dreams

But there’s a man who found her
And he [C]brought her to this world
Heâ[D7]€™s the one who made a Queen
Of a simple country [G]girl

REPEAT CHORUS to outro.
