The Gypsy Life

	  		John Gorka - The Gypsy Life 


Intro: C  F  G  C  F  G  C 

         F             G            C 
There is nothing in my head today 
        F           G                         C 
Nothing awful there, to ponder or confuse me 
    F                 G             C 
Go ahead, in what you have to say 
           F          G                C 
And I will listen as I listen to the news 


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


Chorus: 
          G                   F 
You might like the gypsy life 
                               Am            G  F 
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon 
                          G                F 
Get your compass and your sharpest knife 
                          Am                  G  F      G  C   
People love you when they know you're leaving soon 


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


Chorus: 
          G                   F 
You might like the gypsy life 
                               Am            G  F 
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon 
                          G                F 
Get your compass and your sharpest knife 
                          Am                  G  F   
People love you when they know you're leaving soon 


Instrumental: G  F  G  F  C  Am  C  F  G  C 


         F             G            C 
There is nothing in my head today 
               F             G                 C 
I'll cross the river, people, as I cross my heart 
           F             G              C 
The Pigeon Bridges are a place to stay 
          F          G               F 
I will go under, as I try to do my part 


Chorus: 
          G                   F 
You might like the gypsy life 
                               Am            G  F 
You judge your progress by the phases of the moon 
                          G                F 
Get your compass and your sharpest knife 
                          Am                  G  F   C   
People love you when they know you're leaving soon 
   F G 
Soon 
   F C 
Soon
