BANDIDO

Words and music copyright Graham Seal December 2017

Some faux Tex-Mex fun - should be sung by a woman

Intro: Am, G, F, E, E7

Am                                                                 G

You ride through the sagebrush in your Spanish boots and spurs

G                                         Am

A lonesome desperado, rob the rich to help the poor

Am                                                              G

You took my jewels from me and you stole my heart as well

                                                      Am                   E7

Are you a badman or a hero – only time will tell

Chorus

C                                      G

You can ride, you can ride

C                                                  G

But you can’t hide, you can’t hide

           D               Em  Emaj E7

From me – Bandido

You ride both sides of the river they call the Rio Grande

On a silver palomino with a pistol in your hand

One step ahead of the Rangers, they say you can’t be caught

You come and go like a prairie breeze across the borders of my heart

Chorus

Intro2X

Chorus 

When your riding’s over and your marauding’s done

You’ll take off your fancy spurs and hang up your six-gun

They’ll sing corridos for you but at the ending of your trail

There’ll be no escaping from the inside of my jail

Chorus  3X

Final chord E maj
