You remember those days hanging out

Engineer boots, leather jackets

Drop a dime in the box play the

   Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadies 
        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           Am7/D         G 
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

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 afford to live that kind of life." 
   G/B    C           /D        GA    Am7/D        G 
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

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.

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 again. 
         A7                 Am7/D

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 already 
Am7            G/B     C          Am7/D 
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie good
