[Verse 1]
A D A
Silver coins that jingle jangle
A E
Fancy shoes that dance in time
A D A
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes
A E
Seemed to sing a gypsy rhyme.
A D A
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
A E
In a meadow silky green
A D A
Where she held me to her bosom
A E A
An' I was just a boy of seventeen.
[Chorus]
D A
I recall a gypsy woman
A E
Silver spangles in her eyes
A D A
Ivory skin a-gainst the moonlight
A E A
And the taste of life's sweet wine.
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A D A
A gentle breeze from fragrant meadows
A E
Stirs the darkness in my mind
A D A
Oh, gentle woman, you sleep beside me
A E A
And you little know who haunts my mind.
A D A
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
A E
As it dances through my head
A D A
While my tender wife and babies
A E A
Slumber soft-ly in their bed.
[Chorus]
D A
And I recall a gypsy woman
A E
Silver spangles in her eyes
A D A
Ivory skin a-gainst the moonlight
A E A
And the taste of life's sweet wine.
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
D A
I recall a gypsy woman
A E
Silver spangles in her eyes
A D A
Ivory skin a-gainst the moonlight
A E A
And the taste of life's sweet wine.
E A
The thrill and taste of life's sweet wine
