[VERSE 1]
As the Su[C]n is sinking lo[C7]w,
And the e[F]vening's tucked in to[Fm]w,
On the hor[C]izon, my tr[Am]ue love [G]I see-e-e-e-e[G7]ee.
She ain't fan[C]cy, she ain't f[C7]ine
While her f[F]ingers number only n[Fm]ine
She's the be[C]lle of the b[Am]all of the ins[F]urgenc[G]y.
[CHORUS]
She's my [C]Bandit Queen, laying beneath the[Am] moon
In a ba[F]ndit cave, a blanket laid for t[G]wo
If I could f[C]ind a way to your hideaway by the se[Am]a
O [F]Bandit Queen, s[G7]teal away to m[C]e.
[BRIDGE]
[Am]Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
In an al[C]cove hid by some trees[C/B]
[Am]Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
My [F]ladylove sniffs at the bre[G]eze.
[F]And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
And [C]takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
And [D7]listening to the whistling of the train in station[G]
N.[C]
Odds are it will never reach its destination.
'Cause the [C]Bandit Queen, astride her steed will [Am]ride
Oh, [F]let me be the one to[G] lay within your theivin' arms tonight[C] .
[CHORUS]
She's my [C]Bandit Queen, laying beneath the[Am] moon
In a ba[F]ndit cave, a blanket laid for t[G]wo
If I could f[C]ind a way to your hideaway by the se[Am]a
O [F]Bandit Queen, s[G7]teal away to m[C]e.

CAPO 4
[VERSE 1]
[G]We sailed away on a winter's day
[Cadd9]With fate as malleable as clay
[G]But ships are fallible, I say
[Cadd9]And the nautical, like all things, fades
[G]And I can recall our caravel
[Cadd9]A little wicker beetle shell
[G]With four fine maste and lateen sails
[Cadd9]Its bearings on Cair Paravel
[CHORUS]
[Am]Oh my [Cadd9]love
[G]Oh it was a funny little thing
[Am]To be
[C]The ones
[G]To've seen
[VERSE 2]
[G]The sight of bridges and balloons
[Cadd9]Makes calm canaries irritable
[G]And they caw and claw all afternoon
[Cadd9]Catenaries and dirigibles
[G]Brace and buoy the living room
[Cadd9]A loom of metal warp woof wimble
[G]And a thimble’s worth of milky moon
[Cadd9]Can touch hearts larger than a thimble
[CHORUS]
[Am]Oh my [Cadd9]love
[G]Oh it was a funny little thing
[Am]To be
[C]The ones
[G]To've seen
