Taj Mahal

21St Century Gypsy Singing Lover Man

Taj Mahal


Tom: C#m

F#m
I know it's hard to love a gypsy, but please don't worry baby
E
'cos I'll soon be coming home to you.
F#m
And if I steal away, steal away like a thief in the night,
E
well, it's only 'cos I hate to say a long goodbye to you.
F#m
I know there ain't nowhere, nowhere can compare to the comfort
E
to the comfort of your big brass bed.
F#m
But I got a long road to travel and only hard and stony ground
E
for me to rest my weary head.

E G#m B

C#m
I'm like a fish out of water;
G#m
feels like I'm drowning on dry land
Gm F#m
if I ain't got a reservation ticket right here, right here
G#7
in the palm of my hand.
F#m
I gotta be a 21st century gypsy lover
E
a 21st century gypsy singing lover man!

(short solo)

F#m
And when I kiss you goodbye in the dark hours of the morning
E
and pack a guitar bag and head on out the door
F#m
I know you know that I really hate to leave
E
but it's that time again and I simply got to go.
F#m
And if I'm away on the road for weeks on end
E
and in some way off and far flung foreign land
F#m
sailing on an ocean, baby, or deep down in the jungle
E
or in a caravan crossing the burning desert sand...

E G#m B

C#m
I'd follow a spirit
G#m
that's been roaming free
G#m Gm F#m
way back way back since time began

C#m
I was a wandering minstrel
G#m
in a previous life
G#m Gm F#m
Now I'm a 21st century gypsy singing love man.
F#m                                       E

F#m                                           E
Yeah I'm your 21st century gypsy singing lover man.
F#m                              E
Don't it feel good to you baby?

E G#m Bm C#m
I'm like a fish out of water;
G#m
feels like I'm drowning on dry land
G#m Gm F#m                                                      G#7
if I ain't got a reservation ticket baby in the palm, in the palm of my hand.
I'm your
F#m                               E (repeat these two chords for the rest of the song)
21st century gypsy singing lover man...ooh yes I am baby
