Subject: "Threadbare Gypsy Soul" by Pat Green

Threadbare Gypsy Soul: Pat Green

Capo 2

G
Got a little threadbare gypsy soul
C9						G
Like to dance and drink and go wherever the wind blows
Em			D
Gotta  little threadbare gypsy soul
C9		D		G
Gotta  little threadbare gypsy soul

Gotta little wild streak in my heart
I guess that I have had it since I heard the music start
I gotta little wild streak in my heart
Gotta a little threadbare gypsy soul

CH.
Em			D		C9 		D
I like to hear the highway sounds, and I don’t think that I’ll ever settle 
down
C		D		G		Em
I can’t change and it’s a sin, hope St. Peters gonna let me in
C 		D	G
Come on pete won’t you let me in


I wear this cowboy hat upon my head
And you can take it off me some time after I’m dead
Gotta cowboy hat up on my head
Gotta little threadbare gypsy soul

I wear these crusty shoes down on my feet
I could write a book about the places that they’ve seen
I got these crusty shoes down on my feet
I got a wild streak in my heart

CH.


I know this crazy livin just aint right
Most the time I’m smoking, drinking, looking for a fight
But I’ve been talking to Jesus everyday
I’ve been talking to Jesus every day

And I got this girl back home I call my wife
If you ever meet her I swear she would change your life
She’s got a little wild streak in her heart
But she’s been saying hallehuha everyday

Ch.
