D                      A/D
   Once I knew a woman

     G/D
Who lived in Gypsy ways

    A/D
And we made Gypsy love

            G/D         D
In those my Gypsy days 

         A/D
She wore broadcloth and rock jewels

    G/D
And second hand lace

    A/D
Her queenly tatters hung over

    G/D                     D   A/C#
Her perfect form and grace 

         G/B                  A6
We would talk for hours about any thing

         D/F#               A/G   G
From the front page news to Yeats

                 D/F#        G              E7/G#
About the New Jerusalem that quietly waits 

   Asus4    A   Bbdim
in everyone

               G/B                       A6             
And then she'd fill the room with spring root and sage

      F#m    D/F#    A/G    G
As we lay by candle light

           D/F#            Bm7
Our bodies locked in love 

     Em7      D6         C13+11
from midnight     to the morning sun

     A/C#         G/B    Gm6/Bb  A7sus4   A7
When we were one 

    D                         A/D
She walked the earth lightly

    G/D
One inch above this world

  A/D
A dreamy blue-eyed moon goddess

        G/D               D
With an Andalusian swirl 

          A/D               D/F#
She was a fierce of spirit

    G6
Innocence unchained

   Em7                       A/C#
No heir to the ills of Adam

    G          D/F#   Em7  D   A/C#
My Paradise regained 

         G/B                A6
Then she led me down to the edge of town

         D/F#           Gmaj7
Where we lit our Buddha sticks

              D/F#      
As we floated high above 

G              E7/G#         Asus4      A   Bbdim
herringbone   bricks in dark galleries

  G/B                  A6
A street lamp made her eyes to shine

       D/F#          Gmaj7
Like a beacon in the night

              D/F#     Bm7
Offering this mariner  

   Em7          D6  C13+11  
A  guiding light    over stormy seas

    A/C#      G/B  Gm6/Bb    A7sus4   A7
And memories

  G/B                  A6
A street lamp made her eyes to shine

       D/F#          Gmaj7
Like a beacon in the night

D                    A/D
Once I loved a woman

    G/D
Who lived in Gypsy ways

           A/D
Would that I could return

                   Gm6/Bb
To those my Gypsy days
