Jim Henry - Gypsy Rose
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
My love is Dlike a gypsy Grose
Wild is the Conly Dway he Ggrows
Out where the Csweet JuDly winds Bmblow
He blooms over CyonDder
[Verse 2]
GHis voice is Dlike a mountain Gstream
Washes me Cclear, washDes me Gclean
I walk aClong the Dbanks seBmrene
Where he will CwanDder
[Chorus]
GThere is no Dhill high as the Emmoon
No river Cdeeper Dthan the Gsea
No shooting Dstar, reckless in Emflight
Burns in the Bmnight
Wild as the Emlove he Dgave to Cme
Only the Grain knows where he Dgoes
B7Thunder and Emme
DRambling Cwith my Dgypsy GroseD  G  C  D  G  
[Verse 3]
And on the Dday that we were Gwed
Up to the Caltar Dhe was Gled
Lay like a Cprisoner Din my Bmbed
Oh, how we CshiDvered
[Verse 3]
GSo I built a Dhouse to keep him Gin
Guarded him Cfrom the Dsun and Gwind
But in the CAutumn Dhe grew Bmthin
In winter, he CwithDered
[Chorus]
GThere is no Dhill high as the Emmoon
No river Cdeeper Dthan the Gsea
No shooting Dstar, reckless in Emflight
Burns in the Bmnight
Wild as the Emlove he Dgave to Cme
Only the Grain knows where he Dgoes
B7Thunder and Emme
DRambling Cwith my Dgypsy Grose
[Instrumental]
G  D  G  C  D  G  C  D  Bm  C  D  G
[Verse 4]
My love was Dburied in the Gspring
I see his Cface in Dblossoming Gthings
One night I Cthought I Dheard him Bmsing
Down in the CholDlow
[Verse 5]
GNow, it's been Dthirty years and Gthree
Every Cnight he Dcalls to Gme
And for as Clong as DI shall Bmbe
Well, I know I'll CfolDlow
[Chorus]
GThere is no Dhill high as the Emmoon
No river Cdeeper Dthan the Gsea
No shooting Dstar, reckless in Emflight
Burns in the Bmnight
Wild as the Emlove he Dgave to Cme
Only the Grain knows where he Dgoes
B7Thunder and Emme
DRambling Cwith my Dgypsy Grose
