COUNTRY SONG
Pink Floyd
(Waters/Gilmour/Mason/Wright)

These are the chords played on the piano, but they sound good
if you strum them on an acoustic. The tab is for the electric
guitar that comes in on what I call 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:
G C G  F C F D
repeat and fade
