An amazing song, really fun to play along to. It's by Shirley Collins and The Albion Country Band and I didn't know under which name to submit the chords to. But here they are. D G A D My father's the king of the gypsies, it is true, D G Em A Me mother, she learned me some camping for to do. D G A They put the pack all on my back, and they did wish me well, D G A D Then I went up to London, some fortunes for to tell. D G Em A Some fortunes for to tell, some fortunes for to tell, D G A D And I went up to London, some fortunes for to tell. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/shirley-collins/333946.html ] D G A D As I was a-walking down a fair London street, D G Em A A handsome young squire I chanced for to meet, D G A He viewed my brown cheeks and he liked them so well, D G A D Says he, “My little gypsy girl, can you me fortune tell? D G Em A Can you me fortune tell, can you me fortune tell,” D G A D Says he, “My little gypsy girl, can you me fortune tell?” D G A D “Oh sir,“ I replied, “Give me fast hold of your hand. D G Em A I see you have riches, and houses, and land, D G A And all your lovely ladies, you must lay them all aside, D G A D I am the little gypsy girl that is to be your bride, D G Em A That is to be your bride, that is to be your bride, D G A D I am the little gypsy girl that is to be your bride.” D G A D He led me through woods and through valleys green, I'm sure, D G Em A Where he had got servants to open up the door D G A On the softest bed of down then served me so well D G A D That in nine months after his fortune I did tell. D G Em A His fortune I did tell, his fortune I did tell, D G A D That in nine months after his fortune I did tell. Chords by COTH http://www.shirleycollins.co.uk/ |
