(NOTE: Cap strings at second fret!)
GDCE DCG CG
G D C E
Far away in a distant land lived the King of thieves
D C G C G
he possessed many treasures, but was always evaded by love
G D C E D
Not for the want of trying, though never to succeed, it
C G C G
seemed he could steal anything except for this one need.
G D C E
Then one day back in his lair he did discover and he did curse
D C G C G
another with light fingers had robbed him of his purse,
G D C E D
so back into the city and long into the night he hunted
C G C G
the soul who should be so sly, with his cash to alight.
E D C G
Oh the King of the thieves was he
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G DCE DCGCG
The King of the Thieves.
G D C E
He rattled his mind for recollections of that previous day,
D C G C G G
then that vision of the fair maiden brushed past him in that oh so peculiar way, well
D C E D
of course, it was so obvious and plain to see, for if he
C G C G
was king, then she must be
E D E G
Oh the Queen of the thieves was she
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G
The Queen of the thieves.
G D C E
Sure enough the following day their paths were to cross again
D C
well he followed her through the courtyard
G C G G D C E
amused by her gain, gold and silver coins of the realm.
D C
She seemed to have magic fingers as
G C G
into many pockets all did fell.
E D C G
Oh the Queen of the thieves was she
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G CG
The Queen of the Thieves.
G D C E
Soon both grew hungry and so into the tavern divine
D C G G G G
to drink of the local ale and sing badly out of time, into
D C E D
each others eyes, and into each others arms, the spell
C G C G G
of love cast over them, embraced by their charms. They
D C
amassed between them a fortune and by night they
E D C G
threw it all away, they had no cares or worries for love
C G
would save the day.
E D C G
Oh the King and Queen of thieves were they,
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G CG
The King and Queen of Thieves.
G D C E
Then one year and one day precisely on the witching hour
D C G
a child came unto them, but one arm shrivelled as a
C G G D
dead flower. The Queen did cry and the King did weep
C E D
and they searched the world for a cure, swearing
C G
never to steal again of this one thing they could
C G
be sure.
E D C G
Oh the King and Queen of the thieves were they
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G CG
The King and Queen of Thieves.
G D C E
Finally word came of a medicine man way up in the hills
D C G C G
of a cure they could be sure, if only they kept their word.
G D C
Around the smouldering couldron they sat as he
E D E
chanted, then he poured onto the child's stricken arm a
G G G D
potion from his magic lantern. Sure enough the arm
C E D
did heal and all the birds did sing, then the palm
C G
of the child's hand opened wide to reveal the
C G
midwife's wedding ring.
E D C G
Oh the Prince of thieves was he
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G
The Legend of the Thief.
E D C G
Oh the King, Queen, Prince of Thieves
E D
Easy come and easy go
C G
The Legend of the Thief
