[N] [E]
It [D] [E] was out of a dream that the little girl came.
[F#] [A] Until this day, [D]
I know not her [E] name.
But she moves with emotion, [Em] designed to excite.
My [E] soul's in misery.
My heart is contrite.
And now I stand [D]
in the depths [E] of my shame,
admitting [A] I love [E] her [D] and [E] not knowing her name.
[F] [E] Out of nowhere there came a caravan.
[B]
[E] This was a round of campfire light.
[F]
[Am] A lovely woman in [E] motion.
[B] Her [Am] hair was as dark [A] as the night.
[Bm]
Her [B] eyes, they [E] glowed, glowed, [A] glowed, glowed, glowed
like cat eyes in the dark.
[Bm] And the [B] woman in her tail that rayed bloody,
[Bm]
[F] she [A] hypnotized me with love.
[D] Oh, she [G] was a gypsy [Am] woman.
Let me tell you, [E] she was [G] a gypsy [Am] woman.
Let me tell you what [F#] she did.
[E] [A] She [Em] danced around [E] and [D] [E] around.
To a low [Em] guitar melody.
[G] Oh, yes, [Am] she did.
Her face was such a [F] glow.
[Am] Oh, how she [A]
enchanted me.
[Bm] Oh, I wanted so [B] bad, I wanted so [Am] bad, so bad, so bad
to hold her near.
[B]
All [Bm] I wanted to do was hold her tight, caress her,
and whisper [Am] in her [E] ear.
Lord, I love you, [G] love you.
[Am] Oh, you know I love [G] you, love you.
Oh, [Am] baby.
Whoa, whoa.
[E]
All through the caravan, [D] the girl
danced alone with all the men.
[E] Waiting for the rising sun.
[D] Everybody drinking, had the whole, [Em] the whole, the whole.
[E] I hate to see the lady go.
[D] Cause I knew she would never, never know how [G] much I love her.
Oh, yeah, I [C] love [D] her.
[G] Gypsy woman.
Oh, [D] oh, oh.
[G] Gypsy [C] woman.
Oh, oh, [D] oh.
[G] Gypsy [C] woman.
Oh, [D] oh, oh.
[G] Gypsy woman.
[C] Her hair was black as [G] a gypsy woman.
[D] [G]
