Verse 1
G 
 (G major) (Dolly Parton)
We might have slept in a rail yard or
D 
G 
camped by the river  (D major) bank  (G major) 
We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land
D 
G 
And quenched our thirst  (D major) with  (G major) rain
C 
F 
We never  (C major) did allow  (F major) no roots
C 
F 
C 
to  (C major) grow be (F major) neath our feet  (C major) 
G 
Life  (G major) just had no pattern for
D 
G 
Gypsy  (D major) Joe an (G major) d me
All we had was each other and the
D 
G 
rags upon  (D major) our back (G major) 
The closest thing to a home we new
D 
G 
was some aban (D major) doned  (G major) shack
C 
F 
But we  (C major) had all we  (F major) needed and
C 
F 
C 
the rest  (C major) we  (F major) didn't need  (C major) 
G 
Life  (G major) was free and simple for
D 
G 
Ab 
Gypsy  (D major) Joe an (G major) d me  (A flat major) 
Now Gypsy was my little dog,
I found by the road in a ditch
And so I named him Gypsy,
cause that name just seemed to fit
Db 
Gb 
Oh and  (D flat major) Joe he was my man,  (G flat major) 
Db 
Gb 
Db 
the flower  (D flat major) of  (G flat major) my soul  (D flat major) 
Ab 
Thou he  (A flat major) never said he loved me,
Eb 
Ab 
I just always seemed  (E flat major) to know  (A flat major) 
While standing by the highway,
thumbin' for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car,
Eb 
Ab 
took Gypsy's  (E flat major)  (A flat major) life
Db 
Gb 
I lost  (D flat major) him where I found  (G flat major) him and
Db 
Gb 
Db 
his loss  (D flat major) was misery  (G flat major)  (D flat major) 
Ab 
Now  (A flat major) there's no more Gypsy,
Eb 
Ab 
there's just Joe  (E flat major)  (A flat major) and me
A 
 (A major) 

Verse 2
Well the winter came and the snow did fall
E 
A 
And the night was cold  (E major) and still  (A major) 
And the rags we wore were not enough
E 
A 
And Joe he  (E major) caught the  (A major) chill
D 
G 
And he told  (D major) me how he loved  (G major) me
D 
G 
D 
And in my arm (D major) s he  (G major) went to sleep  (D major) 
A 
Now  (A major) there's no more Gypsy,
E 
A 
no more Joe,  (E major) there's just  (A major) me
