D / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 /
                  G      D
Silver coins that jingle-jangle
                          A7
Fancy shoes that dance in time
        D       G      D
All the secrets of her dark eyes
                A7        D
The lady'd sing   a gypsy rhyme
                 G       D
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
                  A7
In a meadow silky green
          D       G      D
Where she held me to her bosom
           A7        D
Just a boy   of seventeen

CHORUS:
    G            D                             A7
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes
      D    G           D
Ivory skin against the moonlight
        A7                    D
And the taste of life's sweet wine

Verse 2:
Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows
Stir the darkness in my mind
Oh gentle woman, you sleep beside me
And little know who haunts my mind
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
And the dances in my head
While my tender wife and babies
Slumber softly in their beds

(chorus)
