   Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies
oh
 D                               D C
And the king and the queen of the prom
G                      G/B                  C         F C F 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                          E7
We never knew we could want more than that out of life
       Am7        G/B         C           D          G
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to sur vive.
     F       C/E        D            G
Oooh oh   oh oh     oh oh   oh oh oh oh

Brenda and Eddie were still going steady in the summer of '75
G                     G/B                      C           F C F 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 you're much too lazy
G                    F                         E7
Eddie could never af ford to live that kind of life."          
         Am7           G/B    C          D          G

     F/C
They got an apartment with deep pile carpet
      D                        G       C G
And a couple of paintings from Sears
  F/C
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread
         D                     G       C G
They had saved for a couple of years
     F/C
They started to fight when the money got tight
    D                             Em
And they just didn't count on the tears.
        A7          Am7/D
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh   yaaa rock n’

     F/C
They lived for a while in a very nice style
         D                       C  G
But it's always the same in the  end
     F/C
They got a divorce as a matter of course
         D                     C     G
And they parted the closest of freh- ends
         F/C
Then the king and the queen went back to the green
            D                     Em7
But you can never go back there a gain.
         A7                 Am7/D
Oh oh oh ohhhhh    oh oh oh ohhhhhh
 
 
 
G
Brenda and Eddie had had it already
       D             D C
By the summer of '75
         G
From the high to the low
       G/B
To the end of the show
        C                   F  C  F  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 the pieces
   G                      F                      E7
We always knew they would both find a way to get by   ooooh
Am7          G/B         C          D
That's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie
Am7            G/B         C           D
Can't tell you more than I told you al ready
Am7             G/B    C          D
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie good
 
G       F      C/E    D
