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

Cold beer, hot lights

My sweet romantic teenage nights

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

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

And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye
