  flash at  you]

Who worked at the  candy  store.

  You should  be a ]G7] movie  queen.

He would marry her next spring
Saved his money and bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out
 Came to town to take ber out
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door
Workin' at the candy store.

Dream on, dream on, Teenage Queen
See you on the movie screen.

Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny cars
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old hometown
 But sbe missed ber old bometown
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store.

Dream on, dream on, Teenage Queen
Saddest girl we've ever seen.

Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train
 Left it all and caugbt a train
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door
Who worked at the candy store.

It sounds to me like the chords are A, D, and E with a capo on the second fret.
