Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
D C
And the king and the queen of the prom
G C
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on
G 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 C D G
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive
G D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
G D
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
G D C
Brenda and Eddy were still going steady in the summer of seventy five
G C
When they decided the marriage would be at the end of July
G 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 C D G
Oh, but there we were waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
G D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
F
Well, they got an apartment with deep pile carpet
D G
And a couple of paintings from Sears
F
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
D G
They had saved for a couple of years
F
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

F
Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style
D G
But it's always the same in the end
F
They got a divorce as a matter of course
D G
And they parted the closest of friends
F
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
G D C
Brenda and Eddie had had it already by the summer of seventy five
G
From the high to the low to the end of the show
C
For the rest of their lives
G 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 C D
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Am C D
Can't tell you more cause I told you already
Am C D G
And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
G D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
