Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem,
C G
cannot hold you to it's heat
C G
Your temperature's too hot for taming,
C G
your flaming feet burn up the street.
C G C G
I am homeless, come and take me,
C G C D
into reach of your rattling drums.
G C G C
I got to know, babe, all about my fortune,
G C G
down along my restless palms.
G C G C
G C G C G
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed,
C G
I have fallen far beneath
C G C G
Your pearly eyes, so fast and slashing,
C G
and your flashing diamond teeth.
C G C G
The night is pitch black, come and make my,
C G C D
pale face fit into place, ah, please!
G C G C
I got to know, babe, I'm nearly drowning,
G C G
if it's you my lifelines trace.
G C G C
G C G C G
I been wondering all about me,
C G
ever since I seen you there.
C G C
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding,
G C G
I know I'm around you but I don't know where.
C G C G
You have slayed me, you have made me,
C G C D
I got to laugh halfways of my heels.
G C G C
I got to know, babe, will you surround me,
G C G
so I can know if I'm really real.
