This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

After playing Rhy.Fig.1 The singing starts.

Lyrics:

Verse 1

(Rhy.Fig.1)

Gypsy, sitting looking pretty

a broken rose with laughing eyes

(Rhy.Fig.1)

You're a myst'ry, always running wild

like a child without a home

(Rhy.Fig.1)

You're always searching, searching for a feeling

but it's easy come and easy go....

ohoh, I'm sorry but its....
