[Intro]
Interludes A&B
[Verse]
B
On my way through the east, I met Daniel and he
G#m/D#
said that life could be found 'neath the bough of this tree.
E
So I traveled alone on the longest of roads;
B/C#
I never came to the end but I came to my home.
[Interlude B]
[Verse]
B
There's a fire at my back there's a spark in my soul
G#m/D#
that is keeping me moving and it is keeping me bold.
E
When my feet hit the ground they are swift to west
B/C#
but quite where they are headed is a goal to be guessed.
[Chorus]
B2
I am the gypsy king, I was born on the sea
F# E/B
with the crashing of thunder as the waves beat beneath.
B
All I have I can hold but my tale should be told
F# E/B
with a glass pointed upwards and a fire for the cold.
[Intro]
Interludes A&B
[Verse]
B
The night's filled with songs telling fantastic tales
G#m/D#
and the morning it is brighter when you're out on the trail.
E
I've got travel in my bones, music in my blood,
B/C#
and the cold's not an issue; let it rain, let it flood.
[Interlude B]
[Verse]
B
Home's not a place; it's a state of the mind.
G#m/D#
It's the people that we love, it's what I can't claim as mine.
E
I am restless sometimes, 'till I take stock of life
F#
and I find I'm still living with my love still alive.
[Interlude B]
[Chorus]
B2
I am the gypsy king, I was born on the sea
F# E/B
with the crashing of thunder as the waves beat beneath.
B
All I have I can hold but my tale should be told
F# E/B
with a glass pointed upwards and a fire for the cold.
[Verse]
A E/B
How could I say I am down on my luck
F# G#m/D#
When the path laid before me is rising to touch
E
the souls of my shoes, and my heart may be bruised
B2 F# E/B B
but I'll sing 'till the morning, and I am done … with the blues
