Chords with lyrics
F# minorF#m
I know it's hard to love a gypsy, but please don't worry baby
E MajorE
'cos I'll soon be coming home to you.
F# minorF#m
And if I steal away, steal away like a thief in the night,
E MajorE
well, it's only 'cos I hate to say a long goodbye to you.
F# minorF#m
I know there ain't nowhere, nowhere can compare to the comfort
E MajorE
to the comfort of your big breast babe.
F# minorF#m
But I got a long road to travel and only hard and stony ground
E MajorE
for me to rest my weary head.
E MajorE AbmAbm BB
DbmDbm
I'm like a fish out of water;
AbmAbm
feels like I'm drowning on dry land
G minorGm F# minorF#m
if I ain't got a reservation ticket right here, right here
Ab7Ab7
in the palm of my hand.
F# minorF#m
I gotta be a 21st century gypsy lover
E MajorE
a 21st century gypsy singing lover man!
(short solo)
F# minorF#m
And when I kiss you goodbye in the dark hours of the morning
E MajorE
and pack a guitar bag and head on out the door
F# minorF#m
I know you know that I really hate to leave
E MajorE
but it's that time again and I simply got to go.
F# minorF#m
and if I'm away on the road for weeks on end
E MajorE
and in some way off and far flung foreign land
F# minorF#m
sailing on an ocean, baby, or deep down in the jungle
E MajorE
or in a caravan crossing the burning desert sand...
E MajorE AbmAbm BB
DbmDbm
I'd follow a spirit
AbmAbm
that's been roaming free
AbmAbm G minorGm F# minorF#m
way back way back since time began
DbmDbm
I was a wondering minstrel
AbmAbm
Ulbalby freebis line (I have no idea what he says)
AbmAbm G minorGm F# minorF#m
now I'm a 21st century gypsy singing love man.
F# minorF#m E MajorE
(backup vocals: 21st century gypsy singing lover man)
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Yeah I'm your 21st century gypsy singing lover man.
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Don't it feel good to you baby?
E MajorE AbmAbm B minorBm DbmDbm
I'm like a fish out of water
AbmAbm
feels like i'm drowning on dry land
AbmAbm G minorGm F# minorF#m Ab7Ab7
If I aint got a reservation ticket baby in the palm, in the palm of my hand.
I'm your
F# minorF#m E MajorE (repeat these two chords for the rest of the song)
21st century gypsy singing lover man...ooh yes I am baby
Crossing over the burning sand baby
Sailing on an ocean
Could be in some far flung foreign land
far away from you
oooh hoo hooo whooo whooo
I'm your lover man
