C C              C7 C7
As the Sun is sinking low,
F F Fm Fm
And the evening's tucked in tow,
C C Am Am G G (G7 G7)
On the horizon, my true love I see-e-e-e-eee.
C C C7 C7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
F F Fm Fm
While her fingers number only nine
C C Am Am F F G G
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.



[CHORUS]
C C Am Am
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon
F F G G
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
C C Am Am
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
F F G7 G7 C C
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.


Am Am
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
C C C/B C/B
In an alcove hid by some trees
Am Am
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
F F G G
My ladylove sniffs at the breeze.
F F
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
C C
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
D7 D7 G G (off)
And listening to the whistling of the train in station

(no chord)
Odds are it will never reach its destination.



C C Am Am
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride
F F G G C C
Oh, let me be the one to lay within your theivin' arms tonight.


[Instrumental]


[CHORUS]
