D///2///3///4/
GD
Silver coins that jingle-jangle
A7
Fancy shoes that dance in time
DGD
All the secrets of her dark eyes
A7D
The lady'd sing a gypsy rhyme
GD
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
A7
In a meadow silky green
DGD
Where she held me to her bosom
A7D
Just a boy of seventeen
CHORUS:
GDA7
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes
DGD
Ivory skin against the moonlight
A7D
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)
