[Verse]G C G
He made his way to the border
F C F D
In the shadow under the trees
Dsus2 D Dsus2 DG C G
Down by a stream in a hollow
F C F D
Turn your head feel the breeze
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Chorus]Em
And the red Queen
C G GM7/F#
was waiting for the news
Em D
For the white King to move
Em
And the balance hung
C G
upon the head of one who tried
F
To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover D
secret tight
[Verse]G C G
They let him in by a backway
F C F D
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
Dsus2 D Dsus2 DG C G
She took the note that he gave her
F C F D
Opened it slowly and started to read
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Chorus]Em
Run to the treasury
C G GM7/F#
and bring me back some gold
Em
Give it to the pawn who came
D
she cried
Em
He says the white King thinks
C G
the game of chess is wrong
F
And all the courtiers crowded her
And this is what she told D
the gathered round
[Verse]G C G
Go to the store by the dungeon
F C
Take all the red paint
F D
take all the white
Dsus2 D Dsus2 DG C G
Make up a newborn colour
F C
Cover your neighbor
F D
we'll be all right
Dsus2 D Dsus2 D
[Chorus]Em
There will be no game today
C G GM7/F#
she cried across the board
Em D
Everyday will be a holiday
Em
And all the pieces cheered
C G
as tidings spread abroad
F
And the Pink Queen sat
And smiled at the cat
D
