Gay Cavalier  
Richie Havens ft: Pino Daniele

Bm A G A (3v)
Bm A G F#m7 F#7 Bm

Bm              A
The forest got furry... 
   G            F#7
the desert grew eyes 
Bm              A
mountains got runny... 
     G               F#7
and lakes turned to skies 
Bm              A
a harvest of pumpinks grew 
 G          F#7
sequins for ears and I 
Bm       A     G  F#m7 
sighted for my sanity... 
F#7     Bm
Gay Cavalier

Bm              A
A torrent of roses 
   G            F#7
not tossed by a tear 
     Bm         A
what Nature disposes 
     G          F#7
man makes disappear 
     Bm          A
one moment's sincerity 
   G        F#7
smoothly sincere 
       Bm    A      G  F#m7 
might bring back my sanity... 
F#7     Bm
Gay Cavalier 


If you wanna know... 
     A             F#7            Bm
Je' sto cuntanno ancora 'a rrobba mia and 

I don't know 
      A             F#7                 Bm
se'a vita e' 'na ciofeca o e' grazie 'e Dio 
       A      G
if you wanna know 
    A              Bm
pe' te nun saccio niente 
         A          Bm
quacche vota so' cuntento 
    A      G         F#m7    F#7 Bm
me manca l'aria pe' respira'... 

Bm              A
The terrible simmetry 
   G            F#7
tinkles like glass 
Bm              A
the future at Liberty 
      G           F#7
is freed from the past 
     Bm            A
the mountains and moments 
 G             F#7
merge with the here 
           Bm    A      G   F#m7 
and we're back with our sanity... 
F#7     Bm
Gay Cavalier 

Bm        A
The window is open, 
 G            F#7
ajar is the door 
    Bm            A
no more of this groping 
       G               F#7
we've reached the far shore 
     Bm           A
the land that we searched 
        G           F#7
for is nearly than near 
           Bm    A      G  F#m7 
and we're here with our sanity... 
F#7     Bm

         A          Bm

    A      G         F#m7    F#7 Bm

Bm              A
With genius in genesis... 
   G       F#7
goblins appear 
Bm              A
but in patches for 
          G          F#7
penances nothing to fear 
Bm              A
love widely not wisely 
   G            F#7
all Mankind is dear 
           Bm    A      G  F#m7 
and the whole is Humanity... 
F#7     Bm
