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

^GShe arrives in all her splendor Every ^Cnight at nine o'clock And her ^D7chariot is the cross town bus That stops right down the ^Gblock

Now the old piano minstrel

Plays her ^Ctune as she walks in And the ^D7Queen of the Silver Dollar is home aga^Gin

CHORUS

She's the Queen of the ^CSilver ^GDollar She rules this smok^Cey king^Gdom Her scepter is a^C wine^G glass And this ^A7bar stool is her ^D7throne

Now the ^Gjesters ^Cflock ^Garound her Tryin to win ^Cher favo^Gurs To see which o^Cne will t^Gake The ^CQueen Of the ^GSilver ^D7Dollar ^Ghome

Now the royal dress is satin

It's sh^Cabby and it's torn The roya^D7l jewels are rhinestones The shoes are scuffed and worn^G

Of the ma^Gny roads she's been down And the ^Cplaces that she's seen Well t^D7hey all look at her and say God save the ^GQueen

REPEAT CHORUS The Queen of the Silver Dollar's

Is not as ^Chaughty as she seems She wa^D7s once an ordinary girl With ordinary ^Gdreams

But thereâs a man who found her

And he ^Cbrought her to this world Heâ^D7s the one who made a Queen Of a simple country ^Ggirl

REPEAT CHORUS to outro.
