          G  
There's a wonderful world where all you desire 
                                                  C 
and everything you've longed for is at your fingertips 
          D/F#                                 G     D 
Where the bittersweet taste of life is at your lips 
      G 
Where aisles and aisles of dreams awaits you 
                                          C 
and the cool promise of ecstasy fills the air 
       D/F#                                  G 
At the end of each working day she's waiting there 
       C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
       G           (G/B) C      G               G/B          C  
As the evening sky turns blue a dream awaits in aisle number two 
 
        G  
With my shopping cart I move through the heart of 
                               C 
a sea of fools so blissfully unaware, 
     D                                                  G     D 
That they're in the presence of something wonderful and rare 
    G 
The way she moves behind the counter, 
                                           C 
beneath her white apron her secrets remain hers 
       D                                                        G 
As she bags the groceries, her eyes so bored and sure she's unobserved 
 
       C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
        G       (G/B) C 
There's nothing I can say 
     G               G/B                   C 
Each night I take my groceries and I drift away 
D  
And I drift away 
 
Em  
Guidance from the gods above 
   A7 
At night I pray for the strength to tell her 
D                             G 
why I love, I love, I love, I love her so 
Em 
I take my place in the checkout line 
A7 
For one moment her eyes meet mine 
    C                     D 
I'm lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, lifted up, away 
 
       C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
           G           (G/B)      C 
Though her company cap covers her hair,  
G                    G/B            C          D              C 
Nothing can hide the beauty waiting there, the beauty waiting there 
       Em                     D        C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
       Em                     D 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
 
     Am                         D 
As I lift my groceries in to my car 
       Am                    G 
I turn back for a moment and catch her smile,  
                F                    D 
that blows this whole fucking place apart 
 
       C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
        Em                     D 
(I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket) 
       C 
I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket 
        Em                     D 
(I'm in love with Queen of the Supermarket) 
 
 
Am7 (to fade)
