David Francey - Gypsy Boys Chords

 
INTRO: D  A  D  A  D G C G D G D A  D

                         A
Times down here they was hard as life 
                  D
Ice on the frozen river
                             A
And the promises made by the men in grey
                  D
They seem to be delivered


G                     C       G
Deaken and me we were marking time
       D                G
In the ranks of the unemployed
          D                 A
When they hired us on for a week or so
                       D           A   D
To work with the Gypsy Boys, oh


                              A
Well, the factory closed down yesterday
                     D
The textiles' turn tomorrow
                       A
Say what you will, but down this way
                    D
One goes, the other follows

        G                      C       G
So it's up you riggers, up you riggers go
           D                G
While your chains around, rejoice
            D                 A
'Cause they hired us on for a week or so
                       D  
To work with the Gypsy Boys


INSTRUMENTAL: D  A  D  A  D G C G D G D A  D


                                 A
Well, the lights come up and the crowd goes home
                                    D
And they're bringing the stage-hand down
                                 A
And we're paid our wages and the loading's over
                      D
We're gone to another town

         G                   C           G
And from Pennsylvania in the great North West
     D              G
From Champagne, Illinois
              D                 A
Well, they've hired us on for a week or so
                       D          
To work with the Gypsy Boys, oh


            G                          C    G
For they're calling the towns, tipping all ashore
    D                   G
All lights and fire and noise
            D                 A
And they've hired us on for a week or so
                       D        A   D
To work with the Gypsy Boys
