Biografia:
The Decemberists é uma banda de indie pop criada na cidade de Portland, Oregon.
Embora os Decemberists sejam geralmente classificados como indie pop, eles percorrem estilos musicais tão variados como rock progressivo e folk, utilizando instrumentos peculiares como o xilofone, o acordeão e o contrabaixo acústico. Suas letras fogem da angústia e introspecção do rock atual, contando histórias sobre personagens fantásticos e melancólicos como piratas

VERSE 1
C C7
As the Sun is sinking low,
F Fm
And the evening's tucked in tow,
C Am G G7
On the horizon, my true love I see-e-e-e-eee.
C C7
She ain't fancy, she ain't fine
F Fm
While her fingers number only nine
C Am F G
She's the belle of the ball of the insurgency.
CHORUS
C Am
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon
F G
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
C Am
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
F G7 C
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.
BRIDGE
Am
Somewhere on a mountain, by a starry water fountain
C C/B
In an alcove hid by some trees
Am
Amidst a pile of treasure, reclining at her leisure,
F G
My ladylove sniffs at the breeze.
F
And sitting up, she adjusts her turban
C
And takes another swig from a bottle of bourbon
D7 G
And listening to the whistling of the train in station
N.C
Odds are it will never reach its destination.
C Am
'Cause the Bandit Queen, astride her steed will ride
F G C
Oh, let me be the one to lay within your theivin' arms tonight.
CHORUS
C Am
She's my Bandit Queen, laying beneath the moon
F G
In a bandit cave, a blanket laid for two
C Am
If I could find a way to your hideaway by the sea
F G7 C
O Bandit Queen, steal away to me.

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 Cadd9
Oh my 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 Cadd9
Oh my love
G
Oh it was a funny little thing
Am
To be

For far across the town, her lover now is drowned
