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

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
