Travelling People Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Bok

[INTRO]
[G]

[VERSE]
I'm a freeborn man of the [C]travelling [Am]people [D]
Got no fixed abode, with nomads I am [G]numbered [D]
Country lanes and by[G]ways were always [C]my [G]ways
I [C]never [G]fancied [D]being [F]lum[G]bered

[VERSE]
Oh, we knew the woods and the [C]resting [Am]places [D]
And a small bird sang when wintertime was [G]over [D]
Then we'd pack our loads [G]and be on the [C]road
[G]Those were [C]good old [G]times, [D]but they're [F]ov[G]er

[VERSE]
In the open road you can [C]stop and [Am]linger [D]
For a week or two, for time was not our [G]master [D]
Then away you'd jog [G]with your horse and [C]dog
[G]Nice and [C]easy, [G]no need [D]to go [F]fas[G]ter

[VERSE]
Sometimes we'd meet up wi' [C]other [Am]people [D]
For the news or swapping family infor[G]mation [D]
At the country fair, [G]we'd be meeting [C]there
[G]All the [C]people [G]of the [D]travelling [F]na[G]tion

[VERSE]
All you freeborn men of the [C]travelling [Am]people [D]
Every tinker, rolling stone and gypsy [G]rover [D]
Winds of change are blowing,[G] old ways are [C]go[G]ing
Your [C]travelling [G]days will [D]soon be [F]ov[G]er
[D]Winds of change are blowing,[G] old ways are [C]go[G]ing
Your [C]travelling [G]days will [D]soon be [F]ov[G]er

[VERSE]
I'm a freeborn man of the [C]travelling [Am]people [D]
Got no fixed abode, with nomads I am [G]numbered [D]
Country lanes and by[G]ways were always [C]my [G]ways
I [C]never [G]fancied [D]being [F]lum[G]bered
