    Gypsy Wind
    (lyrics by Benjamin Repp)

    [Intro: EM7(♭5), F9, D#9, G#7, F+, G#, A#]

    [Verse 1: B♭,B♭(add 6), D9->D#9]

    There’s a Mardi Gras in my head

    A purple haze on my bed

    A gypsy wind at my door

    And my fear lies on the floor

    [Chorus 1: G#, A# (3x) => Walkdown:
     EM7(♭5), F9, D#9, G#7, F+, G#, A#]

    • and I hear the song of yesterday

    slowly turn and walk away

    as my spirit surfs upon a wave

    that takes me from this petty place

    [Verse 2: B♭,B♭(add 6), D9->D#9]

    I’ve got crystal faith as my guide

    angel wings for my pride

    baby’s breath for my shoes

    and a pocket full of the blues

    [Chorus 2: G#, A# (3x) => Walkdown:
     EM7(♭5), F9, D#9, G#7, F+, G#, A#]

    • and an enchanted melody

    wraps around my body

    as I walk upon a moonbeam

    that leads me through my strongest dreams

    [Verse 3: B♭,B♭(add 6), D9->D#9]

    I’ve got pagan blood in my veins

    I only make love when it rains

    It’s so easy to be a rider

    When it’s your sole desire

    [Chorus 3: G#, A# (3x) => Walkdown:
     EM7(♭5), F9, D#9, G#7, F+, G#, A#]

    • and the wheels gently pull you through the game

    a flute so softly speaks your name

    and freedom is upon that train

    for it’s the thing that keeps you sane
