C chordC              C7 chordC7
As the Sun is sinking low,
F chordF Fm chordFm
And the evening's tucked in tow,
C chordC Am chordAm G chordG (G7 chordG7)
On the horizon, my true love I see-e-e-e-eee.
C chordC C7 chordC7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
F chordF Fm chordFm
While her fingers number only nine
C chordC Am chordAm F chordF G chordG
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.



[CHORUS]
C chordC Am chordAm
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon
F chordF G chordG
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
C chordC Am chordAm
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
F chordF G7 chordG7 C chordC
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.


Am chordAm
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
C chordC C/B chordC/B
In an alcove hid by some trees
Am chordAm
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
F chordF G chordG
My ladylove sniffs at the breeze.
F chordF
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
C chordC
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
D7 chordD7 G chordG (off)
And listening to the whistling of the train in station

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



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


[Instrumental]
