Played in key of E major (I think) on "Mr. Bojangles" and "Gypsy Songman" CD's I prefer to Capo 4th and play as: C F C G I'm Gypsy Songman yessir you'd like to hear a song C Well I'll pick it for you now and play it all night long F If the blues is all you see this song is what you need C G C Gypsy Songman passing by My whole life is a song and I'll share it with you now Pickin and a singin I'll get by somehow A dime would help me please a smile is all I need Gypsy Songman passing by Instrumental Kids come a runnin as I pass by they all want to see Say "Hey Gypsy Songman, play a song for me" Their eyes glued on the strings, dancin as I sing Gypsy Songman passing by I've got as stage on every corner got a hall on every street My hat is my coinbox this song is what you need It's just a swapping time, this song is for your dime Gypsy Songman passing by Instrumental So as I leave you now please remember me this time I'm the man who sang the song for your nickles and your dimes Today you saw me play as I stopped along the way Gypsy Songman passing by
