[D] [G]
I'm a free-born man of [C] the travelin' [D] people
Got no fix to board with nomads, [G] I have one
[D] Country lanes and byways were always [E] my way
[G] I never fancied [F] bein' numb
[G]
Oh, we knew the woods [C] and the rest of [D] places
And the small birds sang when winter [G] came to call
[D] Then we'd pack our [G] load and be on [C] the move
Those were good [G] old days [F] for us
[G] There was open ground [C] where a man could [D] linger
For a week or two, for [E] time was not [G] our master
[D] Then away you'd jump [G] with your horse [C] and dog
[G] Nice and easy, no need [F] to push

[G] [C] [F]
[G] Oh, I've known life hard [C] and I've known it [D] easy
And I've cursed the light when winter [G] days were gone
But [D] I've laughed and sung through the whole [C] night long
[G] Seen the summer sunlight
[F] [G] All you free-born men of [C] the travelin' [D] people
Every tinker, rolling stone and gypsy [G] road
[D] Winds of change are blown
All the way to the moon
[G] Yet travelin' days were [F] still
