21st Century Gypsy Singing Lover Man chords by Taj Mahal

F#m

I know it's hard to love a gypsy, but please don't worry baby

E

'cos I'll soon be coming home to you.

F#m

And if I steal away, steal away like a thief in the night,

E

well, it's only 'cos I hate to say a long goodbye to you.

F#m

I know there ain't nowhere, nowhere can compare to the comfort

E

to the comfort of your big breast babe.

F#m

But I got a long road to travel and only hard and stony ground

E

for me to rest my weary head.

E Abm B

Dbm

I'm like a fish out of water;

Abm

feels like I'm drowning on dry land

Gm F#m

if I ain't got a reservation ticket right here, right here

Ab7

in the palm of my hand.

F#m

I gotta be a 21st century gypsy lover

E

a 21st century gypsy singing lover man!

(short solo)


F#m

And when I kiss you goodbye in the dark hours of the morning


E

and pack a guitar bag and head on out the door

F#m

I know you know that I really hate to leave

E

but it's that time again and I simply got to go.

F#m

and if I'm away on the road for weeks on end

E

and in some way off and far flung foreign land

F#m

sailing on an ocean, baby, or deep down in the jungle

E

or in a caravan crossing the burning desert sand...

E Abm B

Dbm

I'd follow a spirit

Abm

that's been roaming free

Abm Gm F#m

way back way back since time began


Dbm

I was a wondering minstrel

Abm

Ulbalby freebis line (I have no idea what he says)

Abm Gm F#m

now I'm a 21st century gypsy singing love man.

F#m                                       E

(backup vocals: 21st century gypsy singing lover man)

F#m                                           E

Yeah I'm your 21st century gypsy singing lover man.

F#m                              E

Don't it feel good to you baby?

E Abm Bm Dbm

I'm like a fish out of water

Abm

feels like i'm drowning on dry land

Abm Gm F#m                                                     Ab7

If I aint got a reservation ticket baby in the palm, in the palm of my hand.

I'm your

F#m                               E (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
