I've heard all the [G#m] wild reports, they can't be [C#m] right.
But [B] whose head is this she's dancing with on [A] the threshing floor?
Whose [B]
darkness deepens in her arms just [F#m] a little more?
[A] And where, where is [E] my [E] gypsy wife tonight?

days, this is [C#m] the darkness, this is the flood.
And [B] there is no man, there is no woman [A] can be touched.
