[Verse 1]
                      D      G
Can I sing a song for you, my crew?
                        D        C
Like the song I used to play with you.

[Chorus 1]
Em                            Bm
I was gone so long before you missed me,
  Em                       Bm
I didn't even know I was a gypsy.
    Em                                    Bm
I'm singing this song because my eyes are misty
              Am                                        C    G
because we're through (we're through, we're through), my crew.

[Verse 2]
                                D       G
There's that cross we'll cross again, my friends,
                          D              C
and the song that we will play will have no end.

[Chorus 2]
      Em                                Bm
We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies,
      Em                                Bm
we'll lay our burdens down and play for free.
Em                              Bm                   Bm
Laugh and cry as eagles die and we'll be coming home
    Am                 C       G      D      N.C.
one day, let the music play.

[End-Chorus]
      Em                                Bm
We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies,
      Em                                Bm
we'll lay our burdens down and play for free.
Em                              Bm                   Bm
Laugh and cry as eagles die and we'll be coming home
    Am                 C       G        D      G
one day, let the music play.

Uhumuhum, my crew, ...
