How The Gypsy Was Born

D       C            Bb                   C  D
And God saw that his work was nearly done
              C      Bb                    C  D
Green, mighty planet circled round the sun
       C      Bb                         C  D
Silver fishes increased in the blue seas
             C                     Bb                 C  D
All kinds of feathered built their nests in the trees
        C        Bb                  C  D
And God saw that everything was nice
                      C                               Bb      
But there had to be a creature who looked like me and you so he 
           C  D
realised

[Pre-Chorus]

D                         E                F
So he took some earth and put it in a form
                               G        A
But the oven wasn't hot enough“   so the white man was born

[Chorus]

D        C       Bb                                      C     D
Walk on, walk on,   you can live in the cold zone of the world
               C          Bb            C     D
'Cause you are used to it,   since your birth
          C                          Bb                    C  D
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
                  C          Bb                        F          D
But one who's not so pale“ he has to get a hotter blow, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

D                         E                F
So he took some earth and put it in a form
                             G        A                  D
But the oven was too hot now - so the black man was born

[Chorus]

D        C       Bb                                     C     D
Walk on, walk on,   you can live in the hot zone of the world
               C          Bb                  C  D
'Cause you are used to it,   since your birth
          C                          Bb                    C  D
I have to build another creature who looks like me and you
                     C       Bb                         C     D
But one who's not so dark“ he has to get a special blow, yeah, yeah, 
yeah

                           G        A
And the oven was right now   so the gipsy was born

Am                       F                               Am
Go where you like to be 'cause you and the gipsy will be free
