D / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 / G D Silver coins that jingle-jangle A7 Fancy shoes that dance in time D G D All the secrets of her dark eyes A7 D The lady'd sing a gypsy rhyme G D Yellow clover in tangled blossoms A7 In a meadow silky green D G D Where she held me to her bosom A7 D Just a boy of seventeen CHORUS: G D A7 I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes D G D Ivory skin against the moonlight A7 D And the taste of life's sweet wine Verse 2: Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows Stir the darkness in my mind Oh gentle woman, you sleep beside me And little know who haunts my mind Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter And the dances in my head While my tender wife and babies Slumber softly in their beds (chorus)
