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