[Verse 1]
G#m                              G#m7Sara Berry was a popular bitch. (Mm-hmm.)
G#m                                                  BHot bod, hot boy, cheer captain, plus she was rich. (Oh, yeah.)
C#mThat girl had everything till hiccup and hitch:
      D#Julie Jenkins lost a leg in a wreck. (Am-pu-ta-ted!)


[Verse 2]
G#m                                    G#m7The nominations for Prom royalty came (Uh-huh.)
G#m                                              BOur Sara's senior year, and Queen was her claim (Uh, duh.)
C#mTill gossip stirred the student body would name
      D#Julie Jenkins, Queen of the Prom. (Pi-ty-vote!)
E                         F#"Sara," her father said, "Life is a Prom
  G#m                       BI know you won't disappoint me and Mom?"

[Verse 3]
G#m                                     G#m7So obsessed, our Sara near lost her mind
G#m                               BTo life un-Prom-related, Sara was blind;
C#mShe shoved her squad, her clique, her boyfriend behind
      D#Still Julie had a hold on the lead. (Poor, poor, Julie...)


[Verse 4]
G#m                                    G#m7Soon Sara's sanity was hung by a thread
G#m                                  BHer B.F.F.'s proclaimed her socially dead
C#m'Til then, at last, her boyfriend texted and said:
            D#"I'm taking Julie to the senior Prom." (Love, love, Julie...)
 E                        F#"Sara," her father said, "Why be so calm?
        G#mThere's just no future for a Princess at Prom"


[Chorus]
E             F#            G#m           BYou taste the silver, Sara! You taste the crown
               E              F#       G#m   BYou thirst for blood from the roses in hand
     E              F#                G#m      BWhoa, you spoil for sash and scepter, music to dance
        E                  F#          G#mAs they crown you Queen of High School Land


[Break]           E   F#  G#mWoah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
             E       F#       G#mDown on your knees before the Queen
           E   F#  G#mWoah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
             E       F#       G#mDown on your knees before the Queen


[Bridge]
G#m                         BSome girls are rational but Sara was not
G#m                            BShe stared in mirrors thinking one single thought:
E                                  D#There's seven reasons this crown's not good as got  (Julie, Anne, Eunice, Raquel, Marianna, Patricia, Quiara)
C#m                              F#            A#And so the night of Prom, mercy! Thus went her plot:   (Marianna, Patricia, Quiara)
N.C.                                        D#"P" is for Patricia drinking poisoned punch
 N.C.                                       D#"R" is for Raquel dashed on a rock-- crunch!
 E                              F#"O" is what Anne said when Sara bludgeoned her brains
     G#And "M" is Marianna's marinated remains

But! But!
 D#"Q" is for Quiara, quiet, drowned in the pool

And "U" is for Eunice's pieces spread round the school
     F#                           G#But "E's" are for the easy way in five minutes tops
             A#A one-legg'd girl can bring an "N" for end by calling the cops. (What a bitch.)


[Chorus]
E            F#           G#m          BYou got your silver Sara, you got your crown
              E             F#       G#m    BYou got their blood on your roses in hand
     E               F#                G#m     BWhoa, you donned the sash and scepter, doing a dance
       E                    F#          G#m              E   F#  G#mAs you crowned you Queen of High School Land! Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
              E    F#         G#m    BDown on your knees before the Queen
           E   F#  G#m    BWoah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
              E          F#   G#mDown on your knees before
E                 F#                G#m            BThey wrapped your wrists in silver, they took your crown
         E                 F#          G#m    BAs they washed your bloody fingers and hands
E      F#                  G#m          BInto a tight straitjacket, small padded cell
             E               F#          G#m    BScreaming, "I'm the Queen of High School Land!"
           E   F#  G#m  BWoah-oh-oh-oh, oh, oh!
              E    F#         G#m    BDown on your knees before the Queen
