A


[Verse 1]

       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


[Chorus]

    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


[Verse 2]

             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


[Chorus]

    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
