Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Taking  from the rich of spirit, giving  to the poor of heart
Guilty  of a human weakness,  he was known  by all
 As a moonshine bandit,  he was a moonshine bandit
He  was not  like them at all. Not  just another  common criminal
Oh  no, he was not like them,  they were different  men
 They would not dare but he was there to do it for them
 He was a moonshine bandit, a moonshine bandit
 He took from the rich of spirit and gave to the poor of heart
 Guilty of a human passion which tears his heart apart
 Ah, she was not like them at all
 She would cry each time the night would fall
 Oh boy, if she only knew what I'm going to tell you
 She'd never have to suffer from a broken heart
 Moonshine bandit, a moonshine bandit
 She would pine away each hour in her fantasy she would be
 Set free from her tower
 Each night she would wait in vain for a savior without a name
 Then one night it happened, he came to her
 He was a moonshine bandit, A moonshine your light on her
 Take her away, moonshine bandit, now two lovers appear every
 Year above the milky way, Do you believe in magic?
 Can you see it my way? Two lovers appear every year
