Bandit Queen

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 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 ]
