 D D 
   
    D                             
 He woke up in the back of the van
             A                                
 Five in the mornin' with the rest of the band
             G                            D     
 Waitin' for sunrise he picked up his old guitar
 
      D                            
 With five hundred miles left to go
            A                   
 He started playin' soft and low
           G                    A                   
 He didn't play no rock n' roll He sang a gypsy song
 
 D                            
 Ladies lock up your daughters
 Fm                    
 Home where they belong
        G                                    
 Don't let 'em go where the lights are bright
         A                   
 and the gypsy sings his song
       D                     
 Don't let your restless boys
    Fm                  
 Be tempted by the sound
                G      
 of singin' and dancing
            A                  
 'Cause the last of the gypsies
               D   
 are comin' to town
 
       D                             
 As he sat on his suitcase and played
     A                             
 His thoughts started drifting away
               G                      D   
 Back down the highway To the night before
 
        D                               
 To the people, the noise, and the light
         A                          
 And the singing late into the night
                  G                A   
 And the slippin' away Back to the road
 
 D                            
 Ladies lock up your daughters
 Fm                    
 Hold the brothers down
       G                             
 Don't let 'em go to the show tonight
          A                   
 When the gypsies come to town

    D                             
 He grew up with a need to be free
               A                        
 Just like the gypsies of old used to be
           G                  A 
 Ain't he just like you and me
 
         D                            
 So he's out on the road with the boys
               Fm                      
 Playing their guitars and makin' noise
 G                              
 Singing their songs every night
 A                     
 Just like a gypsy band
 
 D                            
 Ladies lock up your daughters
 Fm                    
 Home where they belong
        G                                    
 Don't let 'em go where the lights are bright
         A                   
 and the gypsy sings his song
 
       D                     
 Don't let your restless boys
    Fm                  
 Be tempted by the sound
                G      
 of singin' and dancing
            A                  
 'Cause the last of the gypsies
               D   
 are comin' to town
