      [Intro]
Em               G
Wake up my gypsy girl
C                G
We’ve got some things to do
C                G
Before your train takes off at two
D
And you leave me here alone
C                G
Don’t mind my broken heart
C                G
I was hoping you would stay
C                        G
Til I found the words to say
       D        C          G
That I love you for you’re gone

[Verse]
C                G
We’ve had some good times
D                        Em D
Since we met up at that show
C                G
And we thumbed our way back into town
 D
And you took all my dough
C                G
Came back with some bottles
D                        Em D
And we made em last all fall
C                G
But you had a round trip ticket
    D       C       G
To take you back to Arkansas
 Am                C                D
I tried convincing you to sell your fare
    Am                 C                D
But something else was pulling you from here

[Chorus]
Em               G
Wake up my gypsy girl
C                G
We’ve got some things to do
C                G
Before your train takes off at two
D
And you leave me here alone
C                G
Don’t mind my broken heart
C                G
I was hoping you would stay
C                        G
Til I found the words to say
       D        C          G
That I love you for you’re gone

[Verse 2]
C                     G
You had me throw your suitcase
D                     Em  D
In the backseat of my ride
C               G
You went to say goodbye to friends
  D
I waited right outside
    C             G
But after half an hour
  D              Em  D
I knew enough to know
C                               G
That you were probably up there takin
         D   C          G
One more hit before the road
   Am             C                D
I hurried up that double flight of stairs
  Am                C                D
I looked across the room and saw you there
D
You were lying there……

[Solo section over Chorus], 1 time through
        Am                 C                  D
You’re junkie friends were screaming out your name
     Am               C                D
That needle was still hanging out your vein

[Chorus Breakdown to acoustic bass and drums]
Em               G
Wake up my gypsy girl
C                G
We’ve got some things to do
C                G
Before your train takes off at two
D
And you leave me here alone
C                G
Don’t mind my broken heart
C                G
I was hoping you would stay
C                        G
Til I found the words to say
       D        C          G
That I love you for you’re gone
