[Verse]
    E     B          E        B
The gypsy rover came over the hill
E                B         E  B
Down through the valley so shady
   E               B             E           A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
    E          A          E A  B
And he won the heart of a lady...

[Chorus]
E      B          E     B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E      B          E   B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
   E               B             E           A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
    E          A          E A  B
And he won the heart of a lady...

[Verse]
    E        B        E      B
She left her father's castle gate
E        B        E B
Left her own fond lover
E        A        E         A
Left her servants and her estate
   E          A     E A  B
To follow the gypsy rover...

[Chorus]
E      B          E     B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E      B          E   B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
   E               B             E           A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
    E          A          E A  B
And he won the heart of a lady...

[Verse]
    E      B           E       B
Her father saddled his fastest steed
E              B           E B
Searched these valleys all over
E           A        E        A
Seeking his daughter at great speed
        E         A     E A  B
And the whistlin' gypsy rover..

[Verse]
   E       B           E      B
At last he came to the castle gate
 E        B     E   B
Along the river Claydee
    E         A         E         A
And there was music and there was wine
        E     A       E A  B
For the gypsy and his lady...

[Chorus]
E      B          E     B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E      B          E   B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
   E               B             E           A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
    E          A          E A  B
And he won the heart of a lady...

[Verse]
    E     B         E            B
"He is no gypsy, my father," she said
       E       B               E B
"But a lord of these lands all over
    E      A            E     A
And I will stay till my dying day
         E         A     E A  B
With the whistlin' gypsy rover...

[Chorus]
E      B          E     B
Ah dee do, ah dee do da day
E      B          E   B
Ah dee do, ah dee day dee
   E               B             E           A
He whistled and he sang till the green woods rang
         E           A
Till the green woods rang
         E           A
Till the green woods rang
    E          A          E A  B
And he won the heart of a lady...
