Intro: Am G F F (x2)
C G
We pulled out of Charlotte
F F
The snow is fallin' down
C G
We make our way in a one eagle sleigh
F G
'Till we reach another town
Am G
Our name is in lights on the billboard sign
Am G F F
In every town we play
F G
But if you may, all it really need say
F G C
Are gypsies, gypsies on parade
(verse 2, same chords)
We pull in to a diner
Folks just stop and stare
You here 'em say man
It's a rock-n-roll band
By the look and the clothes they wear
Then you telephone home
'Cause you're feelin' alone
And try to think of somethin' to say
Seems all you get
Are tears of regret
For being gypsies, gypsies on parade
chorus
C G
Gypsies on parade
F Am Am-G/B-C (rundown)
Vagabonds that got it made
C G
They don't know what they been told
Am
About the diamond rings
Am F
And fancy things we wear
F G
They don't know what dues we pay
F
For being gypsies
G C
Gypsies on parade
(verse 3)
Home is where the heart is
But the heart is never home
As I count the white lines
And these exit signs
Seems this guitar is all I ever hold
The stories we could tell
Or the stories we tell
Make better all the time spent away
From family and friends, it never ends
For gypsies, gypsies on parade
