Capo 1st fret

G/ She’s the queen of bedight                                        
Em/ she side steps like a knight
C/ and tacks like a bishop
D/ at sea
                                    
G/ She can counter a canter                            
Em/ walk trot and enchanter
C/ with a leg yield she changes
D/ the lead.

G/ She can turn on her haunches                                    
Em/ traverse as she launches
C/ a transition position
D/ to please.
                                                
G/ Pirouette's on the back
Em/ means give her some slack
C/ while a flying change will give her
D/ some ease.

G/ If she makes a half pass
Em/ by cocking her ***
C/ her hind quarters are merely
D/ a tease.

G/ But before your engagement
Em/ make sure the arrangement
C/ has room for a full
D/ serpentine.

G/ Because you might regret                                    
Em/ while working up sweat
C/ she’ll free walk then bolt
D/ it’s routine.

G/ You could pull on the bit
Em/ try a shoulder fore fit
C/ a renverse it will tell you
D/ she’s keen.
                               
G/ If she tries to re-volte
Em/ time she knows you're the colt
C/ make contact and then
D/ intervene.   

G/ You can tell by her gait
Em/ when she's seeking a mate
C/ she will saunter
D. just like a Coleen 
                                    
G/ It’s the covering room
Em/ she’s the bride your the groom
C/ wear blinkers
D/ she’ll know what you mean.

G/ When there's no way of knowing                                
Em/ the true way of going
C/ suppleness has got to be                          
D/ seen.
                                
G/ Thoroughness pays
Em/ in those early days          
C/ because with thoroughbreds
D/ theres’s no in between.
                                                ­       ­             
G/ You’ll have made your first gaffe                                
Em/ if she does a Piaffe
C/ Regrette Rien if she’s ne'er again
D/ seen.
                                                           ­            
                 Chorus

F/ She don’t need no reason
C/ she’s always in season
G/ the world is her oyster
Am/ dressage pearl girl.

F/ She don’t need no reason
C/ she’s always in season
G/ the world is her oyster
Am/ dressage pearl girl.
                                  
F/ She don’t need no reason
C/ she’s always in season
G/ the world is her oyster
Am/ dressage pearl girl.

Ps.

Original chess piece was a Ship not a
Bishop, (this is why it tacks). Hence
the reference in first verse.

This song uses terminology of dressage.
