Pink Floyd – Country Song (Guitar)

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 

E                     C               G
And the red Queen was waiting for the news 

E                     G
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 

                               D
And keep his undercover secret tight 

G            C       G
They let him in by a backway 

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                                 G
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 

                                       D
and this is what she told the gathered round 

G          C           F
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 newborn colour 

F          C         F           D
Cover your neighbor we'll be all right 

E                               C                 G
There will be no game today, she cried across the board 

E                    G
Everyday will be a holiday 

E                             C               G
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad 

F
And the Pink Queen sat 

                                 D
and smiled at the cat who smiled back
