GYPSY MEDLEY


Now a (Dm)long long time ago, there lived a band of gypsies
Who (Am)wanted so much to be free,
And they (Dm)travelled over mountains, they travelled over hills,
(Am)Searching for people like you and me,
Who need (Dm)love, who need (Am)love,
Who need (Dm)love, who need (Am)love

And they (Dm)had a gypsy king, Abrahim his name
And he (Am)lived so wild and free,
And they (Dm)travelled over mountains, travelled over hills,
(Am)Searching for people like you and me,
Who need (Dm)love, who need (Am)love,
Who need (Dm)love, who need (Am)love

(Dm)Come every(Am)one from (G)near (Am)and (Dm)far,
Children of (Am)David, (G)yes (Am)we (Dm)are,
Led by (Am)Abrahim our (G)spi(Am)rit (Dm)guide,
Travelling ac(Am)ross the (G)count(Am)ry (Dm)side

Chorus 1:
(Dm)Yai yai yai yai (Am)yai yai, (G)yai yai (Am)yai yai
(Dm)Yai, yai yai yai yai (Am)yai yai, (G)yai, (Am)yai, (Dm)yai,

(Dm)Yai, yai yai yai yai (Am)yai yai, (G)yai, (Am)yai, (Dm)yai

In the (Dm)spirit, in the (Am)spirit we can (G)be (Am)so (Dm)free,
We can be who(Am)ever we (G)want (Am)to (Dm)be,
Gypsy girls (Am)dance 'round the (G)fire (Am)that (Dm)glows,
Living in a (Am)world where (G)any(Am)thing (Dm)goes

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Travelling ac(Am)ross the (G)count(Am)ry (Dm)side

(E)Love is in their (Am)hearts,
(Dm)Breezes blowing by, (Am)through the trees so high,
(E)Singing to their (Am)God

Chorus 2:
(Dm)Mountain children, yes, we're (Am)mountain children,
(E)I will bless my (Am)Family,
(Dm)Mountain children, (Am)mountain children,
(E)Gypsies of the (Am)Lord

(Am)Campfire glows while a(Dm)round they go,
(E)Dance before the (Am)King,
(Dm)Damsels shake their timbrels,
(Am)While the men they sing, (E)praises to their (Am)God

[Repeat Chorus 2]

(Dm)To another mountain, (Am)to another land,
(E)Bringing peace to (Am)men

(G)And if you've got the faith we'll (Am)climb up to the sky,
(G)And if you've got the faith we'll (Am)climb up to the sky,
(F)Our wagon (G)wheels keep rolling (Am)on,
(F)Our cara(G)van keeps moving (Am)on

(Dm)There is always laughter coming (Am)from within our camp,
(Dm)And the voice of children playing, (Am)sitting on the lap
(G)Of the old man who has been a(Am)round for many a year,
(G)And strong young men watching, (Am)maidens passing near,
(G)And strong young men watching, (Am)maidens passing near,
(F)Our wagon (G)wheels keep rolling (Am)on,
(F)Our cara(G)van keeps moving (Am)on

(Dm)The trials before us will be (Am)very hard,
(Dm)But we can make it with a (Am)broken heart,
(G)Because we know this is the (Am)price we have to pay,
(G)Because we're heading for that (Am)great and glorious day,
(G)Because we're headed for that (Am)great and glorious day,

(F)Our wagon (G)wheels keep rolling (Am)on,
(F)Our cara(G)van keeps moving (Am)on,
