"Gypsy Life" - John Gorka from "Temporary Road" 1992

Intro: C  F  G twice

C        F             G
There is nothing in my head today

C       F              G 
Nothing awful there to ponder or confuse me

C     F              G
Go ahead in what you have to say

C          F           G
And I will listen as I listen to the news  

 

I know the whole truth there is horrible
It's better if you take a little at a time
Too much and you are not portable
Not enough and you'll be making happy rhymes


Chorus
F                  G
You might like the gypsy life

F                              Am            G 
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon

F                         G 
Get your compass and your sharpest knife

F                         Am                  G     F   G   F   G
People love you when they know you're leaving soon


If you choose to settle in one place
You may be harder over on the ones you love
Like a tree without the growing space
You will be taking from below and from above

Chorus

There is nothing in my head today
I'll cross the river people as I cross my heart
The pigeon bridges are a place to stay
I will go under as I try to do my part

Chorus
