Intro: A5 G5 F5 F5 (x2) 
 
C5                G5 
We pulled out of Charlotte 
F5                   F5 
The snow is fallin' down 
C5                    G5 
We make our way in a one eagle sleigh 
F5                      G5 
'Till we reach another town 
A5                           G5 
Our name is in lights on the billboard sign 
A5       G5       F5      F5 
In every town we play 
F5                      G5 
But if you may, all it really need say 
F5            G5          C5 
Are gypsies, gypsies on parade 
 
(verse 2, same chords) 

We pull in to a diner 

Folks just stop and stare 

You here 'em say man 

It's a rock-n-roll band 

By the look and the clothes they wear 

Then you telephone home 

'Cause you're feelin' alone 

And try to think of somethin' to say 

Seems all you get 

Are tears of regret 

For being gypsies, gypsies on parade 
 
chorus 
C5       G5 
Gypsies on parade 
F5              A5          A5 G5 C5 (rundown) 
Vagabonds that got it made 
C5                    G5 
They don't know what they been told 
          A5 
About the diamond rings 
    A5              F5 
And fancy things we wear 
F5                    G5 
They don't know what dues we pay 
          F5 
For being gypsies 
G5          C5 
Gypsies on parade 
 
(verse 3) 
Home is where the heart is 
But the heart is never home 
As I count the white lines 
And these exit signs 
Seems this guitar is all I ever hold 
The stories we could tell 
Or the stories we tell 
Make better all the time spent away 
From family and friends, it never ends 
For gypsies, gypsies on parade
