the previous transcriptions of this song had a couple of
minor errors in the chords, I've fixed them here.


INTRO:  D  G  D  G


VERSE 1:

D      G                  D
Oh my word, what does it mean
D      G            D
Is it love or is it me
D              A
That makes me change so suddenly
        Bm             G    D    C
Looking out, feeling free


VERSE 2:

D           G          D
I sit here lying in my bed
D          G               D
Wondering what it was I'd said
D             A
That made me think I'd lost my head
       Bm                     G       C
When I know I lost my heart instead


CHORUS:
C             G              D          Em
So won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy
         G              D             Em
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
         G               D               Bm      G    D
Because you can find my mind, please be with me


SOLO (use verse chords)


VERSE 3:
D          G                  D
Of all the better things I've heard
D       G                D
Loving you has made the words
D            A
And all the rest seem so absurd
              Bm                       G       C
'Cause in the end it all comes out I'm sure


CHORUS:
C             G              D          Em
So won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy
         G              D             Em
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me
         G               D               Bm      G    D
Because you can find my mind, please be with me


ENDING:  D  G  D  G  D  G  D
