Verse 1
G
C
Em
People thinking somebody understands,
C
you know, understands what they mean
G
C
G
when all they had to do was say it.
Words, you know,
C
G
words are the only thing you got
C
when you get right down
G
C

to it.

Oh,

C
B
C
G
the gypsy boy sat thinking
on the happenings of late
C
F
Em
He smiled on his future,
F
G
worried on his fate
C
And the sky had opened up
G
C
and the rain came down his hail
F
Ebm
Em
It's colder than I thought, he said,
F
C
somehow it never fails
G
So he pulled himself together
C
and to shelter he did go.
G
F
Em
There stood a gypsy girl
F
G
in and out of the snow.
C
Well he looked back to the hailstones
G
C
falling to the ground.
F
Em
Back to the gypsy girl
F
C
standing there snowbound.
G
Well, she did not say a word to him,
C
but she looked him in the eye
F
Em
Wondered to herself
F
G
as he sat down there nearby
C
How can it be this gypsy boy
G
B
C
ain't covered up with snow
G
F
Em
Did not let it bother her,
F
C
for she did not care to know
B
Well, he offered her his hat
G
C
and she silently smiled, no
G
F
Ebm
To take more than a hat, she thought,
C
F
G
to warn me from this snow
B
C
But she offered him a slicker
G
B
C
from where she made her bed
F
Ebm
But he turned it down without a sound
Em
F
B
C
and put his hat back to his head
G
All night long into the day
C
there weathers it is storm
F
Em
The gypsy boy and gypsy girl
F
G
huddle to keep warm
C
G
Not a word between them passed,
C
not a small hello
G
F
Ebm
Each intent on keeping
Em
F
C
F
from the hail or the snow
G

Dm
And as the sky was clearing,
G
C
they stood and looked around
F
Ebm
He walked east, to the west,
F
G
neither made a sound
B
Down the road he'd stopped again,
C
G
C
looking back to from where they'd came
F
Em
The gypsy boy cried alone,
B
C
and the gypsy girl sang.
