Hi James. Thanks for posting Gypsy...but I see that you posted the second of
two submissions. The one you did post was only the *correction* to the first,
and had none of the song in it at all! Please substitute the following for
the file you posted. It contains the entire song, as corrected. Thanks, Rich.
*******************************************************************************
Hi everybody... I've gotten so much from this newsgroup that I decided that I
just *have to* post a good song to partially repay you all. Well, this one is
my favorite of *all* to play. The music can be found in the book, "The
Authentic Guitar Style of Suzanne Vega," Cherry Lane Music, transcription by
Mark Phillips. It's a fantastic book, and I hope this sampling encourages you
to go out and buy it.
I've made a few small changes where playing has shown me that there must have
been a typo in the original. And I've included the timing and melody for those
of you who don't know the song. Vega sings it on the amazing Solitude Standing
album.
For those of you new to fingerpicking, don't be freaked by the apparent com-
plexity. It's not nearly as hard as it looks, because there's a lot of
repetition and the fingerwork is not difficult. Believe me, I'm no wizard on
the guitar, and I do fine with this. Learn it slowly, then eventually speed
up to the indicated tempo.
Enjoy the song, Rich.

Tab notes:
1. I keep my left pinky and little fingers anchored on the bottom
two strings for most of the song. The places where they should
be removed and put elsewhere should become obvious when you start
to learn the song.
2. In the chorus section, the second part of the 2nd (and 4th, 6th,
and 8th) bar should be played as the D chord; the 5th note in the
bar is played by putting down the pinky finger on the 3rd fret.

Timing and Melody Notes:
1. There are some slight variations in melody for each verse, not
shown above because I don't have them transcribed. You'll have to hear the
recording or put changes in as you see fit. The melody only spans a small
range, which suits Suzanne Vega's voice nicely, but it can sound a bit mono-
tonic to my ear when I sing it, unless I spice it up a bit. It doesn't
damage the song; quite the contrary.
2. Sing each "Oh." as one continuous word, i.e., all notes are
slurred. Note that there are two "Oh."s in the ending, separated by a
quarter-note rest.
