Verse:
Am G Am Em
I met a sad old gypsy on the road to Berlin
Am G Fmaj7 G
By chance I got to spend a little time with him
Am G Am Em
Shared a few life stories on that dusty old train
Am Em
So I thought I'd take a minute
Fmaj7 G Am
Just to share them again with you
Am G Am Em Am G Fmaj7 G
Am G Am Em Am G Fmaj7 G
Verse:
Am G Am Em
He talked of all the twists and turns he'd taken in life
Am G Fmaj7 G
And how his spirit clung to God to do what was right
Am G Am Em
Sure he got the prize but he never counted the cost
Am Em
Felt his pain as he shared with me
Fmaj7 G Am
All that he had lost
Am G Am Em Am G Fmaj7 G
Verse:
Am G Am Em
If you could only see what was there in his eyes
Am G Fmaj7 G
An eternity of wandering in search of the prize
Am G Am Em
He'd had it all, the money, all the fame and romance
Am G C G Am
Now he shed a tear as he faced the last dance
BREAK:
Dm
The blessing comes but once he said
C
But it's not for you, it must be shared
Bb
And if you keep it to yourself
C
You'll be no use to anyone else
Dm
And he who gives will take away
C
And you will face the same dark day
Bb
That even now is all my pain
C E Am
I'll never have this dance again
BREAK 2:
C G Dm C
Chances, dances, how quickly this life passes
Am F
All our hopes and all our dreams
E
Get lost in all our selfish schemes
C G
You see, it's not about you, it's not about me
Dm C
It's about loving something we can't see
Am F
It's all about what we are willing to share
E F
It's about our hearts and who lives there
