Tom: D

     D            G                   D
They call you the bandit, an outlaw untamed
                 Bm     E7                  A7     D
Shackled only by freedom, you wear no man?s chain
                 C                         Em   C  
Some say they despise you, well maybe they do
                G         Am          D              G
But deep down inside them, I bet they wish they were you

[Chorus]
              Em       C                      G    G/F#  Em
Bandit you're reckless, and you live much to hard
                  C    A                   Am    D 
Bandit you're the joker in the deal of the cards
                       Em      C              G     G/F#  Em
You're a legend to the old men, a hero to the child
C               G            Am    D      G        
Bandit, steal a ladies heart, with only a smile

[Chorus]
              Em       C                      G    G/F#  Em
Bandit you're reckless, and you live much to hard
                  C    A                   Am    D 
Bandit you're the joker in the deal of the cards
                       Em      C              G     G/F#  Em
You're a legend to the old men, a hero to the child
C               G            Am    D      G        
Bandit, steal a ladies heart, with only a smile
