Jim Henry - Gypsy Rose
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D G
My love is like a gypsy rose
C D G
Wild is the only way he grows
C D Bm
Out where the sweet July winds blow
C D
He blooms over yonder
[Verse 2]
G D G
His voice is like a mountain stream
C D G
Washes me clear, washes me clean
C D Bm
I walk along the banks serene
C D
Where he will wander
[Chorus]
G D Em
There is no hill high as the moon
C D G
No river deeper than the sea
D Em
No shooting star, reckless in flight
Bm
Burns in the night
Em D C
Wild as the love he gave to me
G D
Only the rain knows where he goes
B7 Em
Thunder and me
D C D G D G C D G
Rambling with my gypsy rose
[Verse 3]
D G
And on the day that we were wed
C D G
Up to the altar he was led
C D Bm
Lay like a prisoner in my bed
C D
Oh, how we shivered
[Verse 3]
G D G
So I built a house to keep him in
C D G
Guarded him from the sun and wind
C D Bm
But in the Autumn he grew thin
C D
In winter, he withered
[Chorus]
G D Em
There is no hill high as the moon
C D G
No river deeper than the sea
D Em
No shooting star, reckless in flight
Bm
Burns in the night
Em D C
Wild as the love he gave to me
G D
Only the rain knows where he goes
B7 Em
Thunder and me
D C D G
Rambling with my gypsy rose
[Instrumental]
G D G C D G C D Bm C D G
[Verse 4]
D G
My love was buried in the spring
C D G
I see his face in blossoming things
C D Bm
One night I thought I heard him sing
C D
Down in the hollow
[Verse 5]
G D G
Now, it's been thirty years and three
C D G
Every night he calls to me
C D Bm
And for as long as I shall be
C D
Well, I know I'll follow
[Chorus]
G D Em
There is no hill high as the moon
C D G
No river deeper than the sea
D Em
No shooting star, reckless in flight
Bm
Burns in the night
Em D C
Wild as the love he gave to me
G D
Only the rain knows where he goes
B7 Em
Thunder and me
D C D G
Rambling with my gypsy rose
[Outro] (repeat and fade to end)
