Intro:
G  C  G  C

Verse:
     G                         C
I've got something I'd like to tell you
G                          C
Something that happened to me
         G                  Am
I'd been feeling thoroughly low-down
     D                     G
So I went to see the gypsy

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

Chorus:
           C          D      G  D
She said, "Now you're flying high__
  C          G        F   G
Tomorrow you might be low
    C               G          A7
The same thing that makes your baby cry
      D                   G
Might make him get up and go"

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

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

Chorus:
           C          D      G  D
She said, "Now you're flying high__
  C          G        F   G
Tomorrow you might be low
    C               G          A7
The same thing that makes your baby cry
      D                   G
Might make him get up and go"

Instrumental:
C  G  C  G  C  G  C

Verse:
      G                       C
Well, just about this time my luck changed
    G                C
And fortune did roll in
       G                      Am
Well I learned the meaning of happiness
        D          G
And the value of a friend

Verse:
                   C
I met a fine young gentleman
   G                 C
As fine as a man can be
      G                 Am
But I never forgot that gypsy girl
    D                G
And what she said to me

Chorus:
           C          D      G  D
She said, "Now you're flying high__
  C          G        F   G
Tomorrow you might be low
    C               G          A7
The same thing that makes your baby cry
      D                   G
Might make him get up and go"

Chorus:
 C          D      G  D
"Now you're flying high__
  C          G        F   G
Tomorrow you might be low
    C               G          A7
The same thing that makes your baby cry
      D                   G    C
Might make him get up and go"
G        C
Make him go
G        C     G D G
Make him go
