Words and Music by Colin Meloy. Transposed by walksonground. THE BANDIT QUEEN
As the SuCn is sinking loC7w, And the eFvening's tucked in toFmw, C Am G (G7) On the horizon, my true love I see-e-e-e-eee. She ain't fanCcy, she ain't fC7ine While her fFingers number only nFmine She's the beClle of the bAmall of the insFurgencGy.
[CHORUS]
She's my CBandit Queen, laying beneath theAm moon In a baFndit cave, a blanket laid for tGwo If I could fCind a way to your hideaway by the seAma O FBandit Queen, sG7teal away to mCe.
AmSomewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain In an alCcove hid by some treesC/B AmAmidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure, My Fladylove sniffs at the breGeze. FAnd sitting up, she adjusts her turban And Ctakes another swig from a bottle of bourbon D7 G (off) And listening to the whistling of the train in station (no chord) Odds are it will never reach its destination.
'Cause the CBandit Queen, astride her steed will Amride Oh, Flet me be the one toG lay within your theivin' arms tonightC.
[Instrumental and tap dance, not that hard to B.S.] [CHORUS]
