C                            G
She said she had no money But he was in doubt 
Am
He told her, "I used to be in too" 
    Em
But now he was out 
F
"Spare some small change lady 
G                   Am
And I'll be on my way" 

C                             G
She looked into his eyes And deep in his soul 
Am
I know she was wondering 
   Em
If he was in control 
    F                           G
She muttered to herself, "Those beggars, 
                     Am
Where do they all come from?" 

Am        C                    G
He said, "I'm not a homeless man 
      F         Em
I'm a gypsy by trade 
          Am
And I'm travelling this land 
     G                  Am
I'm not a homeless man" 

C                                      G
He moved through the streets  With his headband low 
       Am
Never thinking he would never see 
      Em
That woman again, you know 
F
Just sleeping in the doorways 
     G                     Am
And alleys like he always had 
C                     G
The years rolled by And later on 
    Am                        Em
He spotted an old woman All tattered and worn 



 F
Hard times had got her 
 G                           Am
Her clothes were ragged and old 
            C                  G
She said, "I'm not a homeless woman 
       F          Em             Am
I'm a gypsy by trade  And I'm travelling this land
      G                   Am
I'm not a homeless woman" 

C                         G
Sometime in the daytime Sometimes at night 
           Am                          Em
You will see a couple walking They'll come into sight 
F                  G
Pushing their carts 
            Am
And holding hands 

C                            G
If you ask to help They'll just run away 
Am                     Em
Like little children, out to play 
F                          G
And if you ask, "Who are you" 
                Am
They'll always say 

C                      G
"I'm not a homeless man 
       F             Em
I'm a gypsy by trade 
          Am
And I'm travelling this land 

     G
She's not a homeless woman 
 
          Am
I'm not a homeless man"
