[Intro]
A
[Strophe]
       A          D      A 
Silver coins that jingle jangle, 
       A                  E7 
Fancy shoes that dance in time 
        A              A                   A   E7        A 
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes, they did sing a gypsy rhyme  
       A         D       A              A            E7 
Yellow clover, entangled blossoms, in a meadow silky green 
          A        D      A             A  E7       A 
Where she held me, to her bosom, just a boy of seventeen
[Refrain]
    D            A             A               E7 
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes 
      A     D          A 
Ivory skin against the moonlight, 
        A    E7               A 
and the taste of life's sweet wine
[Strophe]
             A         D        A 
Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows 
          A             E7 
Stir the darkness in my mind 
           A         D        A 
Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me 
           A   E7             A 
And little know who haunts my mind  
      A      D         A 
Gypsy lady I hear your laughter, 
        A            E7 
and it dances in my head 
         A      D        A               A    E7           A 
While my tender wife and babies, slumber so-oftly in their beds
[Refrain]
    D            A             A               E7 
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes 
      A     D          A 
Ivory skin against the moonlight, 
        A    E7               A 
and the taste of life's sweet wine
