Queen on d6 Tonight

Gubinsky-Melts (3...Qd6) · sung from Black's side

Verse 1

His knight on c3 came hunting my queen

She found her home on d6, calm and serene

He pushes to d4, I play knight to f6 4.d4 Nf6

Knight to f3, pawn to c6 5.Nf3 c6

Chorus

Knight to f6, pawn to c6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 c6

My queen on d6 is shining tonight

Knight to d7, queen to c7 6.Ne5 Nbd7 7.Nc4 Qc7

Solid and steady, I'll be alright

Verse 2

He plays queen f3, my knight to b6 8.Qf3 Nb6

His bishop to f4, my queen to d7 9.Bf4 Qd7

He takes on b6, my a-pawn takes back 10.Nxb6 axb6

He castles long, I play pawn to e6 11.O-O-O e6

Never let them chase my queen for free

My half-open a-file is waiting for me

Chorus

Knight to f6, pawn to c6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 c6

My queen on d6 is shining tonight

Knight to d7, queen to c7 6.Ne5 Nbd7 7.Nc4 Qc7

Solid and steady, I'll be alright

Bridge

The open centre is wide as the sea

He stands a little better, but the game stays calm for me

His queenside pawns, my kingside pawns, each side with their kings

My half-open d-file is where my rook sings

Chorus

Knight to f6, pawn to c6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 c6

My queen on d6 is shining tonight

Knight to d7, queen to c7 6.Ne5 Nbd7 7.Nc4 Qc7

Solid and steady, I'll be alright

Outro

Knight to f6, pawn to c6 4.d4 Nf6 5.Nf3 c6

My queen on d6, and I'm alright
