[Verse]
G          C         G
Sail on, gypsy of my heart.
             D      Em
You’ve been hanging around.
            C                  G
You’ve been with me from the start.
G         C          G
Sail on, sail on silver girl.
             D          Em
You've been spinning me fast.
        C         G
Like a tilt-a-whirl.

[Chorus]
C                   G     B7     
I’ve done a lot of living in this
  Em
 town.
            C      G              
I’ve done a lot of flying, with my
D             Em
 feet on the ground.
           C            G          
You can’t build your bridges after 
B7                 Em
you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G           
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m
   D    C
 dying now.

[Verse]
G             C             G   
How long, how long should it 
           D           Em
take, for you to learn your lessons,
      C             G
from all your mistakes.
G                 C      G      
How long until the well runs 
                  D        Em
dry? Your bucket’s coming up empty
         C        G
you’re wondering why.

[Chorus]
C                     G     B7  
You’ve done a lot of living in 
     Em
this town.
              C      G            
You’ve done a lot of flying, with 
  D             Em
your feet on the ground.
           C            G          
You can’t build your bridges after 
B7                 Em
you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G        
You’ve done a lot of living, but 
          D     C
you’re dying now.
   C
Dying now.

[Verse]
G         C              G      
So long, everything must go, I 
     D         Em
can’t leave it behind,
        C              G
if I’ve never really known.
G                C              
And so long, to nothing matters 
G                   D       Em
now, who knows if I stand a chance,
         C       G
but I’m trying anyhow.

[Chorus]
C                   G            
‘Cause I’ve done a lot of living 
B7      Em
in this town.
            C      G              
I’ve done a lot of flying, with my
D             Em
 feet on the ground.
           C            G          
You can’t build your bridges after 
B7                 Em
you’ve burnt them down.
             C        G           
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m
   D     C
 dying now.
             C        G           
I’ve done a lot of living, but I’m
   D     C~~~
 dying now.
