G
If I had my way
    G7             C       Am
I'd live among the Gypsies;
     C      D7
If I had my way
       Am        D7   D+ G
That's where I'd love to stay

             E7
I'd hear the call of the wild;
               Am
They'd call me  "Nobody's Child."
            A7      Em7
I'd love to stop at farms
    A7         Em7
And stretch my arms
    D7         Am7 Edim D7
And breath the new-mown hay.

           G
If I had myway
           G7       C      Am
I'd travel with the Gypsies
           C         D7
Where they laugh and play
    Am7   D7        B7
And every-thing’s o-kay.

            C             C#dim
I’d love to give myself a coat of tan,
Edim                               A7
Trav'ling through the country in a caravan
    D7  Am7D7
All day,
           G
If I had myway.
