Trooper-Last Of The Gypsies
D MajorD D MajorD
D MajorD
He woke up in the back of the van
A augmentedA
Five in the mornin' with the rest of the band
G+G D MajorD
Waitin' for sunrise he picked up his old guitar
D MajorD
With five hundred miles left to go
A augmentedA
He started playin' soft and low
G+G A augmentedA
He didn't play no rock n' roll He sang a gypsy song
D MajorD
Ladies lock up your daughters
F minorFm
Home where they belong
G+G
Don't let 'em go where the lights are bright
A augmentedA
and the gypsy sings his song
D MajorD
Don't let your restless boys
F minorFm
Be tempted by the sound
G+G
of singin' and dancing
A augmentedA
'Cause the last of the gypsies
D MajorD
are comin' to town
D MajorD
As he sat on his suitcase and played
A augmentedA
His thoughts started drifting away
G+G D MajorD
Back down the highway To the night before
D MajorD
To the people, the noise, and the light
A augmentedA
And the singing late into the night
G+G A augmentedA
And the slippin' away Back to the road
D MajorD
Ladies lock up your daughters
F minorFm
Hold the brothers down
G+G
Don't let 'em go to the show tonight
A augmentedA
When the gypsies come to town
Instrumental:
D MajorD F minorFm G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
D MajorD
He grew up with a need to be free
A augmentedA
Just like the gypsies of old used to be
G+G A augmentedA
Ain't he just like you and me
D MajorD
So he's out on the road with the boys
F minorFm
Playing their guitars and makin' noise
G+G
Singing their songs every night
A augmentedA
Just like a gypsy band
D MajorD
Ladies lock up your daughters
F minorFm
Home where they belong
G+G
Don't let 'em go where the lights are bright
A augmentedA
and the gypsy sings his song
D MajorD
Don't let your restless boys
F minorFm
Be tempted by the sound
G+G
of singin' and dancing
A augmentedA
'Cause the last of the gypsies
D MajorD
