Chords

[Intro] A [Verse 1]
       A          D      A
Silver coins that jingle jangle,

       A                  E7
Fancy shoes that dance in time

        A              A                   A   E7        A
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes, they did sing a gypsy rhyme

       A         D       A              A            E7
Yellow clover, entangled blossoms, in a meadow silky green

          A        D      A             A  E7       A
Where she held me, to her bosom, just a boy of seventeen
[Chorus]
    D            A             A               E7
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes

      A     D          A
Ivory skin against the moonlight,

        A    E7               A
and the taste of life's sweet wine
[Verse 2]
             A         D        A
Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows

          A             E7
Stir the darkness in my mind

           A         D        A
Oh, gentle woman you sleep beside me

           A   E7             A
And little know who haunts my mind

      A      D         A
Gypsy lady I hear your laughter,

        A            E7
and it dances in my head

         A      D        A               A    E7           A
While my tender wife and babies, slumber so-oftly in their beds
[Chorus]
    D            A             A               E7
I recall a gypsy woman, silver spangles in her eyes

      A     D          A
Ivory skin against the moonlight,

        A    E7               A
and the taste of life's sweet wine
