[Verse]
G          C         G
Sail on, gypsy of my heart.  
             D      Em
You’ve been hanging around.
            C                  G
You’ve been with me from the start.
G         C          G                   
Sail on, sail on silver girl. 
             D          Em
You've been spinning me fast.
        C         G
Like a tilt-a-whirl.

[Chorus]
C                   G     B7       Em
I’ve done a lot of living in this town.
            C      G              D             Em
I’ve done a lot of flying, with my feet on the ground.
           C            G          B7                 Em
You can’t build your bridges after you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G              D    C
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m dying now.

[Verse]
G             C             G              D           Em
How long, how long should it take, for you to learn your lessons,
      C             G
from all your mistakes.
G                 C      G                        D        Em
How long until the well runs dry? Your bucket’s coming up empty
         C        G
you’re wondering why.

[Chorus]
C                     G     B7       Em
You’ve done a lot of living in this town.
              C      G              D             Em
You’ve done a lot of flying, with your feet on the ground.
           C            G          B7                 Em
You can’t build your bridges after you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G                  D     C
You’ve done a lot of living, but you’re dying now.
   C
Dying now.

[Verse]
G         C              G           D         Em
So long, everything must go, I can’t leave it behind,
        C              G
if I’ve never really known.
G                C              G                   D       Em
And so long, to nothing matters now, who knows if I stand a chance,
         C       G
but I’m trying anyhow.

[Chorus]
C                   G            B7      Em
‘Cause I’ve done a lot of living in this town.
            C      G              D             Em
I’ve done a lot of flying, with my feet on the ground.
           C            G          B7                 Em
You can’t build your bridges after you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G              D     C
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m dying now.
             C        G              D     C~~~
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m dying now.
