Build the Bridge, Bella

Verse 1

My king sits home on b8 tonight

My pawn on b7 wants the crown

His king on d8 is cut away

His rook on a2 hunts me down

I step away, the checks won't stop

So tell me, what would you play?

Chorus

Rook checks on d1, amore 1.Rd1+ Ke7

Then rook to d4, ancora 2.Rd4

The fourth rank is my bridge

My rook blocks later on b4

Verse 2

His rook to a1, king to c7 2...Ra1 3.Kc7

Now my pawn on b7 wants to queen

Check from c1, king to b6 3...Rc1+ 4.Kb6

Check from b1, king to c6 4...Rb1+ 5.Kc6

Check from c1, king to b5 5...Rc1+ 6.Kb5

My king walks to the b-file side

Chorus

Rook checks on d1, amore 1.Rd1+ Ke7

Then rook to d4, ancora 2.Rd4

The fourth rank is my bridge

My rook blocks later on b4

Bridge

Check from b1, my rook to b4 6...Rb1+ 7.Rb4

My king guards b4, the checks are done

Rook takes on b4, king takes back 7...Rxb4+ 8.Kxb4

King to d7, pawn to b8, queen 8...Kd7 9.b8Q

Chorus

Rook checks on d1, amore 1.Rd1+ Ke7

Then rook to d4, ancora 2.Rd4

The fourth rank is my bridge

My rook blocks later on b4

Outro

Fourth rank, king out, walk and block

Grazie Lucena, my bridge on b4
