   A bottle of white,      a bottle of red

C/F                     Bb/F    F
    Perhaps a bottle of rose instead

C                    Bb       F/A
   We'll get a table near the street

           Gm7      C
In our old familiar place

Bb      C       Gm7  C          Bb  C
You and I--fa-a-ace  to face    hmmm

F                 Gm7/F
  A bottle of red,      a bottle of white

C/F          Bb/F              F
    It all depends on your appetite

G7               F/A    G/B       C
   I'll meet you any ti-i-me you want

        Bb/D   C/E       
In our Italian     Restau-.

Things are okay with me these days

G7              G9
Got a good job, got a good office

Got a new wife, got a new life

We lost touch long ago

You remember those days hanging out

               F
At the village green

Eb                      Bb
Engineer boots, leather jackets

               F
And tight blue jeans

       Eb
Drop a dime in the box play the

Bb               F
Song about New Orleans

Eb            Bb
   Cold beer,    hot lights

   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           D         G
Surely Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.

     F       Em        D             G
Oooh oh   oh oh     oh oh   oh oh oh oh


     F       Em        D             
Oooh oh   oh oh     oh oh   oh oh oh oh


G                                                  D               D C
  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
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."

     Am7          G/B    C           D        G
But there we were wavin' Brenda and Eddie goodbye.

   F        Em      D
Oh oh    oh oh   oh oh


     F/C
They got an apartment with deep pile carpet

      D                         G
And a couple of paintings from Sears

  F/C
A big waterbed that they bought with the bread

         D                     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.

        A7         Am7/D
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh


|G        |         |D        |            |


|G        |G/B      |C        |F  C  F  C  |


|G        |         |D        |            |


|G        |F         |E7      |            |


|Am7 G/B  |C    D    |G       |F           |
                                        oh 

|Em       |D          |
 Oh     oh oh

      F/C
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                    Em
But you can never go back there again.

A7         Am7/D
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh oh

G
Brenda and Eddie had had it already

       D             D C 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

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          D         G
And here we are wavin' Brenda and Eddie good


|G     F     |C/E    D       |
Bye.   

|G     F     |C/E    D       |  
  

|G     F     |C/E    D       |
