Вступление
Timing/phrasing is kinda challenging because the vocals are partly improvised and thus sort of arhythmic and
amelodic (see sprechgesang and sprechstimme) so you should listen to the recording or just make up your own
phrasing and melody, etc.
I know it's hard to love a gypsy, but please don't worry baby
'cos I'll soon be coming home to you.
And if I steal away, steal away like a thief in the night,
well, it's only 'cos I hate to say a long goodbye to you.
I know there ain't nowhere, nowhere can compare to the comfort
to the comfort of your big breast babe.
But I got a long road to travel and only hard and stony ground
for me to rest my weary head.
I'm like a fish out of water;
feels like I'm drowning on dry land
if I ain't got a reservation ticket right here, right here
in the palm of my hand.
I gotta be a 21st century gypsy lover
a 21st century gypsy singing lover man!
(short solo)
And when I kiss you goodbye in the dark hours of the morning
and pack a guitar bag and head on out the door
I know you know that I really hate to leave
but it's that time again and I simply got to go.
and if I'm away on the road for weeks on end
and in some way off and far flung foreign land
sailing on an ocean, baby, or deep down in the jungle
or in a caravan crossing the burning desert sand...
I'd follow a spirit
that's been roaming free
way back way back since time began
I was a wondering minstrel
Ulbalby freebis line (I have no idea what he says)
now I'm a 21st century gypsy singing love man.
(backup vocals: 21st century gypsy singing lover man)
Yeah I'm your 21st century gypsy singing lover man.
Don't it feel good to you baby?
I'm like a fish out of water
feels like i'm drowning on dry land
If I aint got a reservation ticket baby in the palm, in the palm of my hand.
I'm your
F#m E (repeat these two chords for the rest of the song)
21st century gypsy singing lover man...ooh yes I am baby
Crossing over the burning sand baby
Sailing on an ocean
Could be in some far flung foreign land
far away from you
oooh hoo hooo whooo whooo
I'm your lover man
I'm your 21st century gypsy singing lover man
