Verse 1:

(Piano only)

 G      C     G
Pull me up a chair
    C         G     C
And keep your money
        G  C           G C G C  G C G C
There's no guarantees
 D
Won't you please forgive me?
 D                                       G      C G C  G C G C
But you know cold-blooded women make me sneeze
         C        
And I'll kick you out the door
        Cm                     G C G C  G C G C
If for just one minute you lie
              D
They'll come crashing through the wall
              D                                 G C G C  G C G C
And leave you crawling 'til the minute you die


Verse 2:

 G       C       G        C
Pour yourself a drink or three
     G     C           G       C          G C G C  G C G C
And maybe we'll think clearer for a while
 D      D       D     D
You may be an embarassment
      D         D        D          D         G    C G C  G C G C
But I love the way your clothes are never in style
  C        C        C
Living's much too easy
 C   Cm   Cm       Cm   Cm       G  C G C  G C G C
And dying must be some kind of bore
         D          D       D    D
Well you swear that you're original
       D         D          D       D       G    C G C  G C G C
But I know I've seen those jealous eyes before


Chorus 1:

           C5
So steal a watch right off my wrist
       G5
Oh and shake me by the hand
         D5
We could disappear for days
          G5       A5    A#5
And they wouldn't understand
  B5   C5
Gypsy blood will get you far
       G5                            D*
And we will not miss you when you go

 G    C      G       C        G
Tear another hole in my brown shoes
    C      G         C     G     C G C  G C G C
And we can all sleep for a while
       D         D     D
Well I told you once before
   D        D       D        D   D    G    C G C  G C G C
I love your braces and your hesitant smile
 C
Please don't get me wrong
           Cm
It's only right that you can stamp on my heart
       D        D        D          D
Well I see you and your friends someplace
    D       D          D      D   G   C G C  G C G C
You know I just can't tell you apart


Chorus 2:

                    C5
And though they'll hunt you like a dog
         G5
But they won't take you alive
          D5
Cause you made big piles of money
            G5     A5      A#5
Stacked up twenty storeys high
 B5       C5
Well the boys in every bar
      G5                           D*
They will not miss you when you go

Gypsy blood will get you far
            G5
Though it's far away from me
        D5
Look me up when you get home
    G5
And maybe then we'll see

              C5
Well they'll hunt you like a dog
         G5
But they won't take you alive
