Well, they lived for a while in a very nice style But it's always the same in the end They got a divorce as a matter of course And they parted, the closest of friends Then the king and the queen went back to the green But you can never go back there again Brenda and Eddie had had it already By the summer of '75 From the high to the low To the end of the show For the rest of their lives They couldn't go back to the Greasers The best they could do Was pick up their pieces We always knew they would Both find a way to get by And that's all I heard about Brenda and Eddie Can't tell you more 'cause I told you already And here we are waving Brenda and Eddie goodbye Bottle of red, bottle of white Whatever kind of mood you're in tonight I'll meet you anytime you want In our Italian restaurant | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA  A#  Am  B  C  D  D#  Dsus4  E  F  G  G7  G9  Gm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
