ooooo Gypsy Without A Road ooooo 
Intro (and fills between verses)
 D–  D+c# -  Em7-  G1 -  F#m1 -  Em7-  A7-  D  
VERSE 1
                        D   D+c#                              Em7   D  
You say you want to be a gypsy 'cos there's wanderlust in your soul
     G1          F#m1                   Em7  A7  
but someone or something always holds you back
                      D   D+c#                                       Em7    D  
You say that doors are closed to you but you never really try to get through.
    G1          F#m1                   Em7      A7  
So how can you make it along that freedom track?
When F#m7what you call BmFate is F#m7only Fear reBmnamed
         G1      F#m1                    Em7             G   A7  
and you take it out on  others when there's only you to blame!
     G1    F#m1                      Em7                D   G  
But every time that you're with me, you always act the same
you're like a Em7caged bird trying out his A7wings
CHORUS 1: 
But you're Gso laid Dback and you're Gso held Dback
         G1    F#m1                    Em7   A7  
and you seem  afraid to let anything come through
           G1        F#m1                    Em7                 D   G  
Until you find that inner   freedom you'll be a gypsy without a road
and 'til the Em7light of that truth comes shining A7through,
I know Em7all I can do is just A7go on loving Dyou
VERSE 2
                        D   D+c#                        Em7   D  
You say you want to be a poet and I know you've a lot to say
    G1           F#m1                     Em7  A7  
So how come the words seem to fail you every time?
                               D   D+c#                     Em7    D  
When all your memories and your feelings are just crying for release
 G1         F#m1                   Em7  A7  
why try to drown their voices down in wine?
Oh you'll F#m7forget them Bmtonight - but F#m7tomorrow they'll Bmreturn,
         G1     F#m1                Em7                  G   A7  
like an old, unanswered  letter that a dying fire can't burn
            G1       F#m1                 Em7                 G   A7  
It'll just mock you from the  ashes 'til the lesson you have learned
That there's no Em7ending to the poem that is A7you
CHORUS 2:
But you're Gso laid Dback and you're Gso held Dback
         G1    F#m1                    Em7   A7  
and you seem  afraid to let anything come through
           G1        F#m1                    Em7                D   G  
Until you find that inner   freedom you'll be a poet without a rhyme
and 'til the Em7light of that truth comes shining A7through,
I know Em7all I can do is just A7go on loving Dyou
VERSE 3
                        D   D+c#                                 Em7   D  
You say you want to be a believer but the world keeps letting you down 
     G1             F#m1                     Em7  A7  
but remember these words - to thine own self be true.
                          D   D+c#                                              Em7    D  
'Cos if you look deep down inside yourself and you're not at peace with what you find,
          G1      F#m1                   Em7  A7  
What can you   expect the  world to make of you?
Oh I F#m7know it's nice and Bmcosy, F#m7hiding in your Bmshell, 
         G1     F#m1               Em7                    G   A7  
But the gypsy  and the  poet they are locked in there as well
     G1       F#m1                  Em7                    G   A7  
and someone  I can   touch at last may be there - who can tell?
Does it help to Em7know that I still believe in A7you?
CHORUS 3: 
Although you're Gso laid Dback and you're Gso held Dback
         G1    F#m1                    Em7   A7  
and you seem  afraid to let anything come through
           G1        F#m1                        Em7                 D   G  
Until you find that inner   freedom you're going to need a helping hand 
and as the Em7light of that truth has come shining A7through
I know Em7all I will do is just A7go on loving Dyou
