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