[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                     C                 G
They said she was the prettiest girl in school

           D                     G
It was the graduating class of '72.

        G       C              G
And the university hired me to sing

    G               D          G
And there I met the homecoming queen.
[Verse 2]
G                     C                 G
When I first saw her, something said inside

 D                                 G
"Boy this girl is bound to be your wife"

        G             C             G
She was beautiful and pretty as can be

      G                  D             G
And I swore I'd make her my homecoming queen.
[Chorus]
          G                     C                        G
Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady

          G                         A                       D
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies

    G                       C                         G   C
The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt

        G                       D                           G
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about.
[Verse 3]
         G
Have you ever had those days

     C                                 G
When nothing goes your way and you get down?

    D
You think about going out

                              G
Getting drunk, tearing up the town.
[Verse 4]
       G                           C
But my little girl meets me at the door

                          G
And says "Daddy's home to play"

        D
And the queen takes me in her arms

                                      G
And I forget about my rough and rowdy ways.
[Repeat Chorus]
       G                     C                        G
Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady

          G                         A                       D
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies

    G                       C                         G   C
The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt

        G                       D                           G
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about.
[Key Change to A] [Verse 5]
    A                        D                                    A
Now I've had my flings and a man will do these things, there's no doubt

    E                                                            A
But when the party's over, you can find me back with mama at the house.

       A                          D                           A
And my head'll be a poundin', and she'll be kinda down in the mouth

E                                                                     A
God knows that I love her cause the king ain't much without the queen around.
[Chorus]
       A                     D                        A
Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady

          A                         B                       E
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies

    A                       D                         A   D
The homecoming queen took away all the loneliness and doubt

        A                       E                           A
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about.

        A                       E                           A     A
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about.
