Chords

[Intro] A D A A E A D A E A [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] A D A A E A D A E A [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] A D A A E A D A E A [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
