I'm not 100% sold on that Em in the last lines yet. Will tru to find something

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
      G              C               G
When I first saw her somethin said inside
D                                 G
Boy this girl is bound to be your wife
        G             C               G 
She was beautiful and pretty as could be
      G                  D             Em     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 lady
          G                         A7                      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                            Em     G
Yes, the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about


Have you ever had those days when nothin goes your way and you get down
And you think about goin out gettin drunk and tearin up the town
But my little girl meets me at the door and says daddies home to play
And the queen takes me in her arms and I forget about my rough and rowdy ways


Chorus


Change to Key of A

    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 momma at the house
       A                        D                           A
And my head'll be a poundin and she'll be kinda down in the mouth
E                                                                      F#m    A 
God knows that I love her cause the king ain't much without the queen around


Chorus
