[E]
[C#m] And where, where, [G#m] where is my [C#m] gypsy wife tonight?
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?
[A] Where, where is my [E] gypsy wife tonight?
[Em] [E]
[Em] [E]
[C#m] Ah, the silver [G#m] knives are flashing [C#m] in that tired old cafe.
A ghost climbs [G#m] on the table, [C#m] a bridal negligee.
[B] She says my body is the light, she says my [A] body is the way.
[B] I raise my arm against it all, and I [F#m] catch the bride's bouquet.
[A] So where, where is [E] my gypsy wife tonight?
[A] Where, where is my gypsy [E] wife tonight?

It's [C#m] too early for [G#m] the rainbow, [C#m] too early for the dove.
These are your final [G#m]
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.
[B] But you who come between them, you will surely [F#m] be judged.
[A] So where, where is my [E] gypsy wife tonight?
[A] Where, where is my [E] gypsy wife tonight?

Where, [Em] where [E]
[Em] [E]
is [G]
