Вступление
[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F C
The old ways are changing, you cannot deny,
F Bb C
The day of the travellers ov-er;
Dm Bb F Bb
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere to bide,
F Bb F
So farewell to the life of the ro-ver.
[Chorus 1]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
[Verse 2]
F C
Farewell to the cant and the travelling tongue,
F Bb C
Farewell to the Romani talking,
Dm Bb F Bb
The buying and selling, the old fortune telling,
F Bb F
The knock on the door and the hawking.
[Chorus 2]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
[Verse 3]
F C
You've got to move fast to keep up with the times
F Bb C
For these days a man cannot dander;
Dm Bb F Bb
There's a bylaw to say you must be on your way
F Bb F
And another to say you can't wander.
[Chorus 3]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
[Verse 4]
F C
Farewell to the besoms of heather and broom,
F Bb C
Farewell to the creel and the basket,
Dm Bb F Bb
For the folks of today they would far sooner pay
F Bb F
For a thing that's been made out of plastic.
[Chorus 4]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
[Verse 5]
F C
Farewell to the pony, the cob, and the mare
F Bb C
Where the reins and the harness are id-le;
Dm Bb F Bb
You don't need a strap when you're breaking up scrap
F Bb F
So farewell to the bit and the bridle.
[Chorus 5]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
[Verse 6]
F C
Farewell to the fields where we've sweated and toiled
F Bb C
At pulling and shoving and lifting,
Dm Bb F Bb
They'll soon have machines and the travelling queens
F Bb F
And their menfolk had better be shifting.
[Chorus 6]
F Bb C
Farewell to the tent and the old caravan,
F Bb F C
To the tinker, the Gypsy, the travelling man
F Bb F
And farewell to the thirty-foot trailer.
