Silent Song

If this needed a title, it would have to be:

'Gypsy eyes'

(1. words 1972 : central Iran)


(G) Standing in the desert where no (C) flowers grow (G)


Gazing into (D) Gypsy eyes and (D7) wondering where to (G) go.


When from the mists before you a (C) group of riders show (G)

Some (D) people from the Other side, from (D7) lands you want to know (G)


(Bm) There's a spare horse beside them, so (G7) mount and lose your (C) fear

Don't (Dm) think about the life you've (D7) led and forget you've ever shed a (G) tear.

(Guitar break of choice, appropriate sequences and timings)

(G) The instant came and (G7) went again

Your (C) sob rose from within (G)

But the (D) Gypsy laughed and (Dm) spurred his horse

Then (D7) rode off with the (G) wind.

(repeat last two lines)


(Guitar break of choice as appropriate)

(2. words and chords 2005-6, London.)


(G) Now Time has passed in a (G7) lightning flash

But (C) Age can make you wise (G)

'Cos we're (D) living in the moment now

And we (D7) see through Gypsy (G) eyes

(repeat last two lines)


(G) Standing in the desert where no (C) flowers grow (G)

(D) Gazing into Gypsy eyes and (D7) wondering where to (G) go

Now Time has passed in a (G7) lightning flash

and (C) Age can make you wise (G)

We're (D) living in the moment now

and we (D7) see through Gypsy (G) eyes
