Thread Name: Chord Req: Gypsy (Ralph McTell)
Subject: RE: Chord Req: The Gypsy - (McTell?)
I would suggest you go to a C based chord on 'India' and hit the 'F' note on the dropped D string and repeat that on the 'greedy eyes bit'. I also think its 'Georgia boys' in Ralph's original text

'Coveted our daughters' slides up to a G on the dropped D string

When it comes to 'the moon shone' etc that's a standard run down i.e.
G, F# E D The instrumental bit between verses is based on a D chord with addition of an A# on the G string.

try it out
