I've got something I'd like to tell you
G+G             C majorC
Something that happened to me
     G+G         A minorAm
I'd been feeling thoroughly low-down
   D MajorD           G+G
So I went to see the gypsy

Verse:
            C majorC
She sat me down by her candle
  G+G              C majorC
She said she had the powers that be
    G+G            A minorAm
And she looked me in the eye and took my hand
  D MajorD            G+G
And this is what she said to me

Chorus:
      C majorC     D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
She said, "Now you're flying high__
 C majorC     G+G    FF  G+G
Tomorrow you might be low
  C majorC        G+G     A7A7
The same thing that makes your baby cry
   D MajorD          G+G
Might make him get up and go"

Verse:
            C majorC
She said this would be all for now
  G+G          C majorC
But that you might come back
    G+G        A minorAm
If you find it hard to understand
D MajorD            G+G
Simple little words like that

Verse:
            C majorC
So I gave her all of my money
  G+G         C majorC
And took off for Singapore
   G+G           A minorAm
But I couldn't unravel those words of hers
   D MajorD             G+G
So I went back to the gypsy for more

Chorus:
      C majorC     D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
She said, "Now you're flying high__
 C majorC     G+G    FF  G+G
Tomorrow you might be low

The same thing that makes your baby cry
   D MajorD          G+G
Might make him get up and go"

Well, just about this time my luck changed
  G+G        C majorC
And fortune did roll in
    G+G           A minorAm
Well I learned the meaning of happiness

And the value of a friend

I met a fine young gentleman

And what she said to me

Might make him get up and go"
