Mark Knopfler – Chess (Guitar)

F#m                     C#m7       F#m
The boys play cards and they don't care

                       Bm      C#
A breeze blows in from off the sea

F#m                   C#m7  F#m
It's warm outside but I'm  aware

     C#      C    B   A        F#m
It's neither here nor there to me

      D        E7           A
I can hear the cooks in the kitchen

    Bm         D      C#
The sprinklers on the lawns

F#m                       C#m7      F#m
My knights out there have both been pitching

C#     C    B     A
I have sacrificed a pawn

     F#m
It's chess

F#m                  C#m7      F#m
A little mouse could trip that wire

                   Bm C#
You won't be going anywhere

F#m                   C#m7  F#m
Your noble house will be on fire

    C#          C       B  A   F#m
And you trapped in that golden chair

   D       E7      A
Surrounded by your works of art

    Bm          D         C#
The flames will do their worst

    F#m              C#m7   F#m
You may be rich, you may be smart

C#      C     B    A
But the truth will finish first

     F#m
It's Chess
