Em  B7  Em  B7
C  G  Am  B7  Em
[Verse]
EmTried to take it all away
EmLearn her freedom just inside a day
And find her B7soul, to find there, Emfears allayed
EmTried to make her love their own
EmThey took her love, they left her there
They gave her nothing B7back that she would Emwant to own
[Verse]
GGold and silver Drings and stones
AmDances slowly Foff the moonG  
No one Felse could know, she Emstands alone
GSleeping dreams will Dreach for her
She Amcannot say the Fwords they needG  
She knows Fshe's alone and Emshe is free
[Chorus]
Ocean Gypsy B7of the moon
The sun has made a EmthouDsand Cnights for C#you to B7hold
EmOcean Gypsy B7where are you?
The shadows followed Emby Dthe Cstars have C#turned to B7gold
Turned to EmgoldB7___Em  B7  
[Verse]
EmThen she met a hollow soul
EmFilled him with her light and was consoled
She was the B7moon and he, the Emsun was gold
EmEyes were blinded with his light
EmThe sun she gave, reflected back the night
The moon was B7waning, almost Emout of sight
[Verse]
GSoftly Ocean DGypsy calls
AmSilence holds the Fstars awhileG  
They smile Fsadly for her Emwhere she falls
GJust the time beDfore the dawn
The Amsea is hushed, the Focean calls herG  
Day has Ftaken her and Emnow she's gone
[Chorus]
Ocean Gypsy B7of the moon

[Verse]
EmNo one noticed when she died
EmOcean Gypsy shackled to the tide
The ebbing B7waves, the turning Emspreading wide
EmSomething gone within her eyes
EmHer fingers, lifeless, stroked the sand
Her battered soul was B7lost, she was aEmbandoned
[Verse]
GSilken threads like Dwings still shine
AmWindswept pleasures Fstill make patternsG  
In her lovely Fhair so Emdark and fine
GStands on high beDneath the seas
AmCries no more, her Ftears have driedG  
Oceans Fweep for her, the Emocean sighs

[Intro]

Em B7 Em B7

C G Am B7 Em

[Verse]

Tried to take it all away

Learn her freedom just inside a day

And find her soul, to find there, fears allayed

Tried to make her love their own

They took her love, they left her there

B7 Em

They gave her nothing back that she would want to own

[Verse]

G D

Gold and silver rings and stones

Am F G

Dances slowly off the moon

F Em

No one else could know, she stands alone

Sleeping dreams will reach for her

She cannot say the words they need

She knows she's alone and she is free

[Verse]

Then she met a hollow soul

Filled him with her light and was consoled

The moon was waning, almost out of sight

Silence holds the stars awhile

They smile sadly for her where she falls

Just the time before the dawn

Day has taken her and now she's gone

Her battered soul was lost, she was abandoned

[Verse]

Silken threads like wings still shine

Am F G

Windswept pleasures still make patterns

F Em

In her lovely hair so dark and fine

G D

Stands on high beneath the seas

Am F G

Cries no more, her tears have dried

F Em

Oceans weep for her, the ocean sighs

[Chorus]

Ocean Gypsy of the moon
