[A] My name is John the [F] Gypsy, I [C] travel the [D] land.
There are no [D] chains [Bb] about me, I [Am] am the old [D] man.

Of the [C] places I [F] have been, oh, [Bb] and they ain't no [F] lies.
[Dm]
[D] I never [F] had a proper haunt, [C] not one like [D] yours.
I've [Dm] nearly [Bb] always had a [Am] caravan with horses.
