Thread Name: Chords Req: Gypsy Moth (Hoyt Axton)
Subject: RE: Chords Req: Gypsy Moth (Hoyt Axton)
Freddie White is the one I learnt from an siblings album when I was younger. Years ago I posted the same request on mudcat looking for chords but to no avail.
Here are some ideas. Its my first attempt and I'm sure it can be improved upon. You might disagree entirely with some parts but it works for me. If its not working then your version of the song might be different or maybe its just that I haven't heard the song for a few years and am bending it to fit the chords or maybe you are singing in a different key. Anyway give it a go and see what happens.
(G) The Gypsy Moth is a (C) mighty high (G) flyer, sailing on (C) land and (G) sea.
(C) You are the object of (G) my desire, (C) the sun and the (D) moon to (G) me.
(C) I believe in (G) love and you (C)know that you (F) keep me from feeling blue,
(C) And you make me (F) happy, when (C) everything I do gets me in (G7) troub (G)le
Saying, (G)river could rock, river could (C) roll,
(G) River could carry me (C) down to (D) the (G) sea.
