These are the chords played on the piano, but they sound good
if you strum them on an acoustic.

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:

And the red queen was waiting for the news
E D
For the white king to move

And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried

To stay within the shadows and keep his undercover secret

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:
G C G F C F D
