[A]
[D] [Bm]
[A]
[D] She said she had no money, [A] but he wasn't down [Bm] he told her I used to be [F#m] into but now he was out
[G] Spare some small change
[A] And I made [Bm] my way
[A] She
[D] looked into his [A] eyes and deep in the soul.
[Bm] I know she was a woman
[F#m] But he was in control.
[G] She wanted to herself [A] these beggars
Where did [Bm] they all come from?
He said I'm not a [A] homeless man
[G] I'm a gypsy, [F#m] but free [Em] to the [Bm] proudest man
[A] I'm not a homeless man
[D] He moved through the streets [A] with his hip bent low
[Bm] Never thinking he would ever [F#m] see that woman again, you [G] know
Just sleeping in the [A] doorway
Had it like [Bm] he always had
[A] [D] The years roll by [A] and later on [Bm] he spotted no woman
[F#m] No child anymore
[G] Hard times have got [A] her
Her clothes were ragged [Bm] and old
She [D] said I'm not a [A] homeless woman
[G] I'm a gypsy, [F#m] but free [G] to the [Bm] proudest man
[A] I'm not a homeless woman
[D] Sometimes in the daytime [A] and sometimes at night
[Bm] You will see a couple walking
[F#m] You'll call when they say
[G] Pushing their cars
[A]
And [Bm] holding hands
[A]
[D] If you ask for help
[A] They'll just run away
[Bm] Like little children [F#m] After they
[G] And if you ask who [A] are you
They'll [Bm] only say
I'm
[D] not [A] a homeless man
[G] I'm a gypsy, [F#m] but free [Em] to the [Bm] proudest man
She's [A] not a homeless woman
I'm not [Bm] a homeless man
[D]
[A] [Bm]
[F#m] [G]
[A] [Bm]
[A] [D]
[A] [Bm]
[F#m] [G]
[A] [Bm] I'm [D]
not [A] a homeless man
[G] I'm a gypsy, [F#m]
but free [G] to the [Bm] proudest man
[A] She's not a homeless woman
