Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
And the caravan is on it's way
I can hear the merry gypsies play
Mama mama look at Emma Rose
She's a-playin with the radio
La, la, la, la, la, la, la x2
And the caravan has all my friends
It will stay with me until the end
Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose
Tell me everything I need to know
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
There is also some picking here, so you can fool around with the chords if you're
with another person.
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long to hold you tight so I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher radio
Turn it up, turn it up, so you know, radio
La, la, la, la, la, la, la x2
And the caravan is painted red and white
That means ev'rybody's staying overnight
Now the barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing and play
And a woman tells us of her ways
La, la, la, la, la, la, la x2
Turn up your radio and let me hear the song
Switch on your electric light
Then we can get down to what is really wrong
I long just to hold you tight so I can feel you
Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you
Turn it up, turn it up, little bit higher, radio
Turn it up, that's enough, so you know it's got soul
Radio, radio turn it up, mm mm
Repeat
while singing La, la, la, la... etc.
And there you have it. The phrasing is a bit tricky so it made it hard to get as
as possible with the chord changes.
