Gipsy Kings is a music group from Arles and Montpellier, France. They explained the evolution of their sound in the 1996 PBS documentary of their lives and music &quot;Tierra Gitana (Gipsy Land)&quot;. Young brothers Nicolas, Canut and Paul Reyes accompanied their father, famed flamenco singer Jose Reyes, who started out singing &quot;cante jondo&quot; (deep chant), traditional flamenco with long-running themes of passion, love, death, etc. But they began playing rumba flamenca because &quot;we liked to watch pretty girls dance,&quot; said Nicolas. 

Les Gipsy Kings est un groupe composé de musiciens issus de deux familles, l'une montpelliéraine (les Baliardo) la seconde étant arlésienne (les Reyes). A l'issue d'un pèlerinage aux Saintes Maries de la Mer au cours des années 1970, Tonino, Paco et Diego Baliardo, petits-fils de Manitas de Plata, firent la connaissance de leurs cousins Nicolas, Canut et Paul Reyes, fils de José Reyes. Le premier nom du groupe était &quot;Los Reyes&quot; et furent remarqués à Saint-Tropez par Brigitte Bardot, qui les invita à animer (ou plutôt enflammer) les nuits tropéziennes. 

Die Gipsy Kings ist eine aus Frankreich kommende spanische Flamenco-Pop-Musikgruppe. Sie entstand Ende der 1970er Jahre aus der Band Los Reyes und hatte mit Hits wie 

Los Gipsy Kings son hijos de emigrantes españoles en Francia. El padre de la mitad de la formación es José Reyes, cantante flamenco que hizo sus pinitos en los sesenta. Antes de eso se llamaban Los Reyes, nombre con el que grabaron al menos un disco. Ya como Gipsy Kings se hicieron famosos en los tardíos 80 y los 90, especialmente con su album &quot;Mosaique&quot;, que contenía canciones propias y versiones de la canción popular como &quot;Volare&quot;.

Por el camino del desierto, El viento me despeina
A                        E
Sube el aroma de colita, Luna, luna de nadie
G                D
Ella a lo lejos, Una luz centela
Em                  F#
La idea de mi estar, Quedar por la noche

Alli estaba a la entrada, Y las campanas en el sonar
A                   E
Y me dije ya mismito, Que es puerta del cielo
G                      D
Ella enciende una vela, Y muestra del camino
Em                        F#
Suenan voces en corriador, Y yo le dije mi cien

Rodeada de chicos guapos, Ella llamaba amigos

Cuando viene despacio, Del tumba de verano
Em                    F#

Hasta ataca a la bestia, Pero no la logra matar

Y mi ultimo recuerdo, Corria hacia la puerta

Viendo una candela en el camino, Por donde habia llegado

Relax dijo el portero, Por mi es honor de recibir

When my head is strong but my heart is weak

I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C

Bridge:
G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

            F                 C                 G

             F                    C                G

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

King Creole

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
