Bandit Queen chords by The Decemberists

Guitar chords with lyrics

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

Intro:
       G              G7
As the sun is sinking low
        C                   Cm
And the evening's tucked in tow
       G                Em     D    D7
On the horizon, my true love I seeeeee.
          G                G7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
          C                   Cm
While her fingers number only nine
          G            Em          G   C    D
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.

Chorus:
         G                              Em
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
     C                                D
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
           G                                  Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
  C             D7            G
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.

Verse:
Em
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
      G                       D
In an alcove hid by some trees
Em
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
   C                      D
My ladylove sniffs as the breeze.

C
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
    G
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
    A                                              D
And listening to the whistling of a train at station
                      D
Odds are it will never reach it's destination.

           C                                    Em
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride
  C                                   D             G
O let me be the on to lay within your theivin' arms tonight.

(Em C D)

Chorus:
         G                              Em
She's my Bandit Queen, lain beneath the moon
     C                                       D
In a bandit cave, there's a blanket laid for two
     G                                        Em
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
  C             D7            G
