Hope I heard the words right: E&OE. I also scrimped on the "la la la" bit :-) Intro: G C G C G Ten years before my time C I sang a song to a friend of mine D G (D* C G) 'bout a girl working for a dime G I didn't know that gypsy girl C but I knew about her kind of thrill D G Her love was cheap and always up for sale C D Em ooh picture this, I was alone D but when I fell in love C G I was alone... ooh with my gypsy girl (little run: G C G D* C G The D* is a plain C chord up two frets to make a D. Play it fast enough and it sounds okay. ) G Now a gypsy lady lost her soul C and she's so scared of growin' old D but words don't age for me G they turn to gold G Gypsy girl with raven hair C holds my open(?) to the air D G she's the one that never seems to care.... C D Em ooh picture this, I not alone D but when I sing a song C G I'm not alone... with my gypsy girl with my gypsy girl la la la la la la, la la la la la la..... C D Em ooh picture this, I'm not alone D but when I sing your song C G I'm not alone... with my gypsy girl My gypsy girl
