Bandit Queen chords by The Decemberists

Chords with lyrics

This was transposed for mandolin, but it sounds great on guitar as well. Enjoy!

Intro:
       Chord diagramG+G              Chord diagramG7G7
As the sun is sinking low
        Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramC minorCm
And the evening's tucked in tow
       Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramE minorEm     Chord diagramD MajorD    Chord diagramD7D7
On the horizon, my true love I seeeeee.
          Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramG7G7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
          Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramC minorCm
While her fingers number only nine
          Chord diagramG+G            Chord diagramE minorEm          Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramC majorC    Chord diagramD MajorD
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.

Chorus:
         Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramE minorEm
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
     Chord diagramC majorC                                Chord diagramD MajorD
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
           Chord diagramG+G                                  Chord diagramE minorEm
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
  Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramD7D7            Chord diagramG+G
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.

Verse:
Chord diagramE minorEm
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
      Chord diagramG+G                       Chord diagramD MajorD
In an alcove hid by some trees
Chord diagramE minorEm
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
   Chord diagramC majorC                      Chord diagramD MajorD
My ladylove sniffs as the breeze.

Chord diagramC majorC
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
    Chord diagramG+G
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
    Chord diagramA augmentedA                                              Chord diagramD MajorD
And listening to the whistling of a train at station
                      Chord diagramD MajorD
Odds are it will never reach it's destination.

           Chord diagramC majorC                                    Chord diagramE minorEm
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride
  Chord diagramC majorC                                   Chord diagramD MajorD             Chord diagramG+G
O let me be the on to lay within your theivin' arms tonight.

(Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramD MajorD)

Chorus:
         Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramE minorEm
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
     Chord diagramC majorC                                       Chord diagramD MajorD
In a bandit cave, there's a blanket laid for two
     Chord diagramG+G                                        Chord diagramE minorEm
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
  Chord diagramC majorC             Chord diagramD7D7            Chord diagramG+G
