[Verse 1]
    G5            D/F#   Em7
So good to meet you, Mr. Chess
    C                  G/B      Am
I've always heard that you're the best
    D                  B7                    Cadd9 (C)
At housing knights and castles high up in the air

   G5            D/F#   Em7
so I beseech you, Mr. Chess
   C               G/B      Am
To let me sleep inside your bed
   D                          B7                          
And would you sleep too, would you sleep too 
       Cadd9 (C)
in the chair?

    G5             D/F#   Em7
You see, I dream of many things
    C         G/B      Am
Of floating, solitary kings
    D                      B7                     Cadd9  (C)
Of pawns and people with blue sequins through their hair


[Bridge]
    G5                 D                 Am
The jesters sings, the bishop brings the queen 
    F
A hollow following
    G5               D               Am
And all the pawns and people stop and people stare

    G5             D               Am7
So, I too stop, At three o'clock, I stumble to your door And knock
    G5             D            Am7
And ask to see you, ask to be you, 
    F
Mr. Chess O, Mr. Chess


[Verse 2]
   G5           D      Em
Now, I beseech you, Mr. Chess
   C               G        Am
To let me sleep, to let me rest
   D                      B7            Cadd9
To let me dream, to let me sing without a care

   G5           D/F#   Em
And I will dream you things so fair
   C               G/B      Am
I'll sing you castles in the air
   D                         B7
And I will sleep too, I will sleep too
   Cadd9            F        
I will rest, O Mr. Chess, my Mr. Chess
