Capo on the 2nd fret.
Verse 1: AD Three fingers whiskey,pleasures the drinkers AE And moving does more than the same things for me AD Willie he tells me that doers and thinkers AEA Say moving is the closest thing to being free
Verse 2: AD Well he's rosined his reggins,laid back his wages AE He's dead set on riding in the big rodeo ADA My woman's tired with an overdue baby EA Willie keeps yelling hey gypsy let's go
Chorus: EDA Willie you're wild as a Texas blue northern EDA Ready rolled from the same makins as me DA I reckon we're gonna ramble till hell freezes over EA Willie the wandering gypsy and me
Verse 3: AD Ladies we surely will take off your favors AE And we'll surely warn you there never will be ADA A single soul living that could put brand or handle EA On Willie the wandering gypsy and me
Verse 4: AD Dance on the mountain,shout in the canyons AE Swarm in a loose heard like a wild buffalo ADA Jamming our heads full of figures and angles EA And telling us stuff that we already know
