The Gypsy Life

INTRO: G  C  D  G  C  D  G

         C             D            G
There is nothing in my head today
        C           D                         G
Nothing awful there, to ponder or confuse me
    C                 D             G
Go ahead, in what you have to say
           C          D                G
And I will listen as I listen to the news


           C                     D          G
I know the whole truth there, is horrible
            C          D                G
It's better if you take a little at a time
             C           D          G
Too much and you are not portable
     C                  D                 C
Not enough and you'll be making happy rhymes


CHORUS:
          D                   C
You might like the gypsy life
                               Em            D  C
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon
                          D                C
Get your compass and your sharpest knife
                          Em                  D  C      D  G
People love you when they know you're leaving soon


       C                D              G
If you choose to settle in one place
          C            D                  G
It may be harder, over, on the ones you love
       C                D              G
Like a tree without the growing space
            C             D               C
You will be taking from below and from above


CHORUS:
          D                   C
You might like the gypsy life
                               Em            D  C
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon
                          D                C
Get your compass and your sharpest knife
                          Em                  D  C
People love you when they know you're leaving soon


INSTRUMENTAL: D  C  D  C  G  Em  G  C  D  G


         C             D            G
There is nothing in my head today
               C             D                 G
I'll cross the river, people, as I cross my heart
           C             D              G
The Pigeon Bridges are a place to stay
          C          D               C
I will go under, as I try to do my part


CHORUS:
          D                   C
You might like the gypsy life
                               Em            D  C
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon
                          D                C
Get your compass and your sharpest knife
                          Em                  D  C   G
People love you when they know you're leaving soon
   C D
Soon
   C G
Soon
