Gypsy Boy-crd

Billy Joe Shaver

 Bm
        The painted lantern circus
 F#
        With the wagons swinging slowly
 Bm
        On a cold October morning
 F#
        On a day that should be holy
 G
        Winding through the forest
 D
        As the sun is just a-breakin'
 G
        And i am only seven
 D
        And a gypsy in the makin'
Verse 2:
 Bm
        Winds a-blowin' through me
 F#
        And the canvas flaps a-tearin'
 Bm
        And the folks is talkin' low now
 F#
        'Cause they don't want me to hear 'em
 G
        And Uncle says there's trouble
 D
        With the bulls along the border
 G
        And i'm a-wond'rin' why
 DBm
        And a-wishin' i were older
Verse 3:
 Bm
        Many years ago it seems
 F#
        And many summers ending
 Bm
        The wagon wheels is rustin'
 F#
        And the axles is a-bendin'
 G
        And Grandma's bones is bleachin'
 D
        And our hearts is still a-dyin'
 G
        But i'm a Gypsy Boy
 D
        And there ain't no time for cryin'
Verse 4:
 Bm
        Now it's getting colder
 F#
        And the air is growin' ugly
 Bm
        And the wolves is gettin' bolder
 F#
        And there ain't no sun above me
 G
        And i think it's time to move now
 D
        But i don't know where we're goin'
 G
        And i know it won't be long now
 DBm
        Before it starts to snowin'
Verse 5:
 Bm
        Babies cryin' softly
 F#
        And the women are a-sighin'
 Bm
        And somewhere in a wagon
 F#
        There's a soul that must be dyin'
 G
        'Cause the crepe is hangin' black
 D
        From the window of each lorry
 G
        And we'll likely camp at sunset
 D
        So's the body can be buried
Verse 6:
 Bm
        So the carts will rumble
 F#
        Though there ain't no road to travel
 Bm
        And i listen to the grindin'
 F#
        Of the wooden wheels on gravel
 G
        And the sad songs and the old songs
 D
        Will warm me and they'll hold me
 G
        'Til my head at last grows weary
 D
        And the arms of sleep enfold me
 G
        For i am a Gypsy Boy
 D
        And my home is where you find me
 G
        For i am a Gypsy Boy
 DBm
        And my home is where you find me
