A bottle of white, a bottle of red

Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

And the family's fine 
    G 
Oh, we lost touch long ago 
G 
You lost weight I did not know 
C              Am7                D 
You could ever look so nice after so much time 
 
         Eb                        Bb                 F 
Do you remember those days hanging out at the village green 
Eb                      Bb                     F 
Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans 
                Eb                       Bb               F 
Woah you drop a dime in the box play the song about New Orleans 
Eb         Bb 
Cold beer, hot lights

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

Brenda and Eddy were still going steady in the summer of seventy five 
G                     G/B                      C 
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July 
G                       D     D C 
Everyone said they were crazy 
G                           C 
Brenda you know that you're much too lazy 
G                   F                         E 
Eddie could never afford to live that kind of life 
        Am            Am/B   C          D         G 
Oh, but there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye 
 
 
   G/F    G/E    D 
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh 
 
 
           C 
Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet 
      D                        G 
And a couple of paintings from Sears 
  C 
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread 
         D                     G 
They had saved for a couple of years 
     C 
They started to fight when the money got tight 
         D                        Em         Am 
And they just didn't count on the tears, woh oh, woh oh...yeah rock n roll

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

Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of seventy five 
         G                      G/B 
From the high to the low to the end of the show 
        C 
For the rest of their lives 
     G                       D       D C 
They couldn't go back to the greasers 
    G                           C 
The best they could do was pick up their pieces 
G                         F                      E 
We always knew they would both find a way to get by 
Am           Am/B        C          D 
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie 
Am             Am/B         C          D 
Can't tell you more cause I told you already 
    Am          Am/B   C          D         G 
And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye 
 
 
   G/F    G/E    D
