Title: "Gypsy Girl"
Transcription: "Mungo Henning"
I think that the following track by Wet Wet Wet
off their "Picture This" album was an excellent example
of acoustic guitar playing. Hope I heard the words
right: E&OE. I also scrimped on the "la la la" bit :-)
Intro: G C G C
Ten years before my time
I sang a song to a friend of mine
'bout a girl working for a dime
I didn't know that gypsy girl
but I knew about her kind of thrill
Her love was cheap and always up for sale
ooh picture this, I was alone
but when I fell in love
I was alone... ooh with my gypsy girl
(little run: G C G D* C G
The D* is a plain C chord up two frets to make a D. Play it fast
enough and it sounds okay. )
Now a gypsy lady lost her soul
and she's so scared of growin' old
but words don't age for me
they turn to gold
Gypsy girl with raven hair
holds my open(?) to the air
she's the one that never seems to care....
ooh picture this, I not alone
but when I sing a song
I'm not alone... with my gypsy girl
with my gypsy girl
la la la la la la, la la la la la la.....
ooh picture this, I'm not alone
but when I sing your song
I'm not alone... with my gypsy girl
My gypsy girl
