THE BANDIT QUEEN
Capo on 5th fret. This is how Colin plays it live. There are little walk ups and downs
here and there between G/F#/E. Not hard to figure out.
As the SuGn is sinking loG7w,
And the eCvening's tucked in toCmw,
G Em D (D7)
On the horizon, my true love I see-e-e-e-eee.
She ain't fanGcy, she ain't fG7ine
While her fCingers number only nCmine
She's the beGlle of the bEmall of the insCurgencDy.
[CHORUS]
She's my GBandit Queen, laying beneath theEm moon
In a baCndit cave, a blanket laid for tDwo
If I could fGind a way to your hideaway by the seEma
O CBandit Queen, sD7teal away to mGe.
EmSomewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
In an alGcove hid by some treesG/F#
EmAmidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
My Cladylove sniffs at the breDeze.
CAnd sitting up, she adjusts her turban
And Gtakes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
A7 D (off)
And listening to the whistling of the train in station
(no chord)
Odds are it will never reach its destination.
'Cause the GBandit Queen, astride her steed will Emride
Oh, Clet me be the one toD lay within your theivin' arms tonightG.
[Instrumental]
