E               B
It ain't easy, living like a gypsy
 A                     E
Tell your honey how I feel
E                     B
I've been dreaming, floating down the stream and
A                             E
Losing touch with all that's real
  E                 B
Whole earth lover, keeping under cover
 A                       E
Never know where you've been
 E                  B
You've been fading, always out parading
 A                       E
Keep in touch with Mama Kin

            A                            E
Well you've always got your tail on the wag
          A                                 E
Shooting fire from your mouth just like a dragon
    A                      E
You act like a perpetual drag
    F#
You better check it out because someday soon
                                  B
You'll have to climb back on the wagon

It isn't easy, living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, Yes it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out because someday soon
You'll have to climb back on the wagon

Chorus:
B B E
    Keep in touch with Mama Kin
B B E
    Tell her where you've gone and been
B B E
    Living out your fantasy
B B E
    Sleeping late and smoking tea

B B E  A                  G    D
      Keep in touch with Mama Kin
B B E  A                     G        D
      Tell her where you've gone and been
B B E  A               G    D
      Living out your fantasy
B B E   A                 G      D  C B
      Sleeping late and smoking tea

It isn't easy living like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind, yes, it is
The way I see it, you've got to say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Working for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
Because someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Chorus
