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

G                   D         D C
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

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

       C
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

G                D        D C
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
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
G G/F   G/E   D
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
