There are 2 versions. The first more general and this one:
Version 2 - about upcoming 2021 FIDE World Chess Championships

Well, I was thumbing out of Moscow, I had my chess set on my back
when a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
He was dressed like 1960, tall and on the skinny side
he said its a long walk to Abu Dhabi would you like a ride

I sat down in the front seat and he started talking chess
and them classic old games coming from his voice were Spasky, Smyslov and Tal
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light
that's when I knew there was something strange about this ride.

He said drifter can you make folks cry when you play and grin,
have you paid your dues, can you make Naka moan the blues when you make him bend his king
He said Boy can you make folks fear what you fear inside *********
cause if you're world champ bound let me warn you its a long hard ride

Then he cried just north of Abu Dhabi and he turned that car around
he said this is where you get off boy, cause I'm going back to Reykjavík
As I stepped out of that Cadillac, I said Mister many thanks!
he said you don't have to call me Mister Mister, the whole world called me Bobby.

He said Nepo can you make folks cry when you play and grin,
have you paid your dues, can you make Garry moan the blues when you make him bend his king
He said Boy can you make folks fear you late at night *********
cause if you're world champ bound let me warn you its a long hard ride

He said Nepo can you make folks cry when you play and grin,
have you paid your dues, can you make Magnus moan the blues when you make him bend his king
He said Boy can you make folks fear you late at night *********
cause if you're world champ bound let me warn you its a long hard ride

If you're world champ bound let me warn you its a long hard ride

I said bend his king instead of tip. I think bend is better because it is ambiguous enough to mean tip or be so mad you break it.
