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. 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 see-e-e-e-eee. G G7 She ain't fancy, she ain't fine C Cm While her fingers number only nine G Em C D She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency. [CHORUS] G Em She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon C D In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/decemberists/386996.html ] G Em If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea C D7 G O Bandit Queen, steal away to me. Em Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain G G/F# In an alcove hid by some trees Em Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure, C D My ladylove sniffs at the breeze. C And sitting up, she adjusts her turban G And takes 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. G Em 'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride C D G Oh, let me be the one to lay within your theivin' arms tonight. [Instrumental] [CHORUS] |
