Words and music by: Jack Clement
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st fret
(D[A]ream on, dream on, t[D]eenage q[A]ueen, pr[D]ettiest g[A]irl we've e[E]ver s[A]een).
There's a story [D]in our t[A]own
Of the prettiest g[E]irl a-r[A]ound
Golden hair and e[D]yes of b[A]lue
How those eyes could fl[E]ash at y[A]ou
(How those eyes could fl[E]ash at y[A]ou)
B[D]oys hung round her [A]by the score
But she loved the b[E]oy next d[A]oor, who worked at the c[E]andy st[A]ore
(D[A]ream on, dream on, t[D]eenage q[A]ueen, pr[D]ettiest g[A]irl we've e[E]ver s[A]een).
She was tops in a[D]ll they s[A]aid
It never once went t[E]o her h[A]ead
She had every-th[D]ing it se[A]ems
Not a care, this te[E]enage qu[A]een
(Not a care, this te[E]enage qu[A]een)
O[D]ther boys could o[A]ffer more
But she loved the b[E]oy next d[A]oor, who worked at the c[E]andy st[A]ore
(Dream on, dream on, te[D]enage qu[A]een, y[D]ou should [A]be a m[E]ovie qu[A]een).
He would marry h[D]er next sp[A]ring
Saved his money, b[E]ought a r[A]ing
Then one day a mo[D]vie s[A]cout
Came to town to t[E]ake her o[A]ut
(Came to town to t[E]ake her o[A]ut)
H[D]ollywood could o[A]ffer more
So she left the b[E]oy next d[A]oor, working at the c[E]andy st[A]ore
(Dream on, dream on, te[D]enage qu[A]een, s[D]ee you [A]on the m[E]ovie scr[A]een).
Very soon she w[D]as a s[A]tar
Pretty house and sh[E]iny c[A]ar
Swimming pool and a f[D]ence a-ro[A]und
But she missed her o[E]ld home t[A]own
(But she missed her o[E]ld home t[A]own)
A[D]ll the world was [A]at her door
All except the b[E]oy next do[A]or, who worked at the ca[E]ndy st[A]ore
(Dream on, dream on, te[D]enage q[A]ueen, sa[D]ddest g[A]irl we've e[E]ver s[A]een).
Then one day the t[D]eenage s[A]tar
Sold her house and a[E]ll her c[A]ars
Gave up all her we[D]alth and f[A]ame
Left it all and ca[E]ught a tr[A]ain
(Left it all and ca[E]ught a tr[A]ain)
D[D]o I have to t[A]ell you more
She came back to the b[E]oy next d[A]oor, who worked at the c[E]andy st[A]ore
(Now this story h[D]as some m[A]ore, you'll h[D]ear it a[A]ll at the ca[E]ndy st[A]ore).
