Bandit Queen Chords by The Decemberists

_ _ _ _ _ As the sun _ [Gbm] is sinking low [E] _
_ _ And the evening's tugged [Em] in tow
_ [Dm] _ [B] On the horizon _ [Abm] my true _
[Ab] love I [Gb] see _ _ _ She _ _ [Abm] _ ain't fancy, _ she ain't fine _
_ While her fingers [C] number only nine _ _ [Gb] She's the bell of the [Abm] ball _ of [Db] the _ _ _ _ insurgency
_ [Dbm] _ _ She's [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Abm] my [B] _ _ bandit queen _ _ Laying beneath _
[Abm] the _ moon _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] In a bandit cave _ A blanket laid _ [Gb] for two _
_ _ If _ _ I [B] could find a way To your _ hideaway
_ [Abm] By the _ sea _ _ _ Oh, _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ bandit queen
_ _ _ [Gb] Steal away [B]
to me _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Abm] _ Somewhere in a mountain
By a starry water fountain [B] In an _ alcove hid by some _ trees _ _
[Abm] _ Amidst a pile of treasure _ Reclining at her leisure
_ [E] My lady love sniffs at [Db] the breeze _ _ _ [E] And sitting up
She _ adjusts her [Abm] turban And takes another [B] swing
From a bottle of bourbon [Db] And listening to the whistling
Of the trading station _ _ Odds are it will never
[Gb] _ Reach its [Bb] _ destination Cause [B] the bandit queen
_ A _ strider's steed [Abm] will _ _ _ ride _ Oh, _ _
_ [E] _ let me be the one
[Gb] To lay within your thieving _ [B] arms tonight _ _ _ _ _ _
