One Pawn Down, F-File Mine

Blackmar Diemer · sung from White's side

Verse 1

His pawn sits on e4, he's feeling free

Knight to c3, pawn to f3 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3

Knight takes f3, bishop to d3 4...exf3 5.Nxf3 e6 6.Bd3 Be7

The f-file opens up for me

He keeps the pawn, I keep the speed

Chorus

Knight to c3, pawn to f3 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3

Knight takes f3, bishop to d3 4...exf3 5.Nxf3 e6 6.Bd3 Be7

One pawn down but the f-file's mine

My bishop eyes h7, it's go time

Verse 2

Bishop to g5, then castles short 7.Bg5 Nc6 8.O-O O-O

Queen to e1, I'm building the storm 9.Qe1

My bishop eyes h7, rook on f1 warm

Hold my queen till d3 is tight

Draws are rare here, it's a fight

Chorus

Knight to c3, pawn to f3 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.f3

Knight takes f3, bishop to d3 4...exf3 5.Nxf3 e6 6.Bd3 Be7

One pawn down but the f-file's mine

My bishop eyes h7, it's go time
