COUNTRY SONG

TAB


These are the chords played on the piano, but sound good
if strummed on an acoustic-the tab is for the electric
guitar that comes in on Part 2



G C G  F C F D

Part 1:
G           C          G
He made his way to the border
F      C      F         D
In the shadow under the trees
G         C           G
Down by a stream in a hollow
F         C    F        D
Turn your head feel the breeze

Part 2:
E                     C               G
And the red queen was waiting for the news
E                     D
For the white king to move
E                              C               G
And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried
F
To stay within the shadows and keep his undercover secret 
D
Tight

    tight

G            C       G
They let him in by a back way
F      C       F                D
Into a chamber reserved for the queen
G            C            G
She took the note that he gave her
F         C      F              D
Opened it slowly and started to read

E                       C                  G
Run to the treasury and bring me back some gold
E                                 D
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
E                                 C                G
He says the white king thinks the game of chess is wrong
F
And all the courtiers crowded her and this is what she told the gathered
D
Round

G         C            G
Go to the store by the dungeon
F            C          F            D
Take all the red paint, take all the white
G         C        G
Make up a new born color
F          C         F        D
Cover your neighbor, we'll be alright

E                             C                G
There'll be no game today she cried across the board
E                        D   
Every day will be a holi-day
E                             C                G
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread a-broad
F
And the pink queen sat and smiled at the cat who smiled 
D
Back

Solo over:
