[Verse 1]
F Em G Am Step inside my tent, said she, I'd like to read your palm F Em G A Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very long F Em Dm Am Leave the circus noise behind Close your eyes, relax your mind F Em G A I'll tell you if you should quit now or if you should go on
[Refrain 1]
A11 A A11 Then I said, "Now what do you see" She said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Where'll I go oh, what'll I be" She said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee"
[Verse 2]
F Em G Am She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake F Em G A She told me the town where I was born and she almost knew the date F Em Dm Am She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise F Em G A She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight
[Refrain 2]
A11 A A11 Then I said, "Now what do you see," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Your are so old, your are so wise, deedly-dum, deedly-die" A A11 A A11 "Give me a sign, tell it to me," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 Then she spoke most quietly, oh, deedly-dum, deedly-dee"
[Verse 3]
F Em G Am When you were a child at school they taught you quite a lot F Em G A You were told when you should speak and when you should not F Em Dm Am You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at night F Em G A A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not
[Refrain 3]
A11 A A11 Then I said, "Now what do you mean," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Where'll I go, what'll I be," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee"
[Verse 4]
F Em G Am Then when I came home that night to lie awake in bed F Em G A I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said F Em Dm Am And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get F Em G A So if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune read
[Refrain 4]
A11 A A11 Then I said, "Now what do you mean," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Where'll I go, what'll I be," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Your are so old, your are so wise, deedly-dum, deedly-die" A A11 A A11 "Give me a sign, tell it to me," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee"
[Outro]
A A11 A A11 "Where'll I go, what'll I be," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee" A A11 A A11 "Your are so old, your are so wise, deedly-dum, deedly-die" A A11 A A11 "Give me a sign, tell it to me," she said, "deedly-dum, deedly-dee"
