Gypsy

Interprète : Suzanne Vega

1. [SOL5]You c[SOL5/FA#]ome from f[MIm7*9]ar away
with [DO2*3]pictures in your [SOL5]eyes
Of coffee [SOL5/FA#]shops an m[MIm7*9]ornings streets
In the [DO2*3]blue and silent [RE4]sunrise.
But [SOL5]night is [SOL5/FA#]the cathed[MIm7*9]ral
Where we [DO2*3]recognise the [SOL5]sign.
We strangers [SOL5/FA#]know each[MIm7*9] other now
As [DO2*3]part of the [RE4]whole de[SOL5]sign.
Ref. [LAm7*1]Oh, h[LAm9]old me [RE]like a ba[RE4]by
That [LAm7*1]will n[LAm9]ot fall as[RE]leep. [RE4]
[LAm7*1]Curl me [LAm9]up ins[RE]ide y[RE4]ou
And let me [LAm7*1]hear [LAm9]you trough the [RE]heat[RE4].
[SOL5]Oh oh[SOL5/FA#] ... [MIm7*9]
2. You're the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's,
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls,
By the pretty and the mischievous,
By the timid and the blessed,
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you their breast.
3. You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear.
The wisdom on your face denies
The number of your years,
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tales of the fool,
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules.
Yeah, now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads,
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head.
4. With a long and slender body
And the sweetest, softest hands,
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands.
And please do not ever look for me,
But with me you will stay.
And you will hear yourself in song,
Blowing by one day.
