Dm
Tropical night, Malaria moon

Dying stars of the silver screen She danced that famous Gypsy dance With a hole in her tambourine

Dm
I was young enough and dumb enough

I swallowed down my Mickey Finn She'd hijacked a few hearts all right I went into a tailspin

Bb             Dm7/A          Gm7
Don't sing me, don't sing me, don't sing me

Bb/F          Dm
No more gypsy love songs

Bb             Dm7/A          Gm7
Don't sing me, don't sing me, don't sing me

Bb/F          Dm
No more gypsy love songs

      Gm/D        Dm
Don't stir it up again

Dm
I put my arm around her waist

Says she, young man, you're getting warm The room was going somewhere without me And she laughed as she read my palm Chorus

Am        E     F          C       Dm      G
Stillborn love, passionate dreams, pitiful greed

        Am     E              F      C
And the silver tongues of the tinker girls,

    Dm                  Em
Who throw their book of life at you

    F                 G
But don't know how to read

Dm
She was third generation Transylvanian

I was the seventh son of a seventh son I begged the band don't play that tune Please don't beguine the begun

Dm
When I awoke, she'd cut and run

She stole my blueprints and my change Just a horseshoe and a note on the bed And all it said was--strange Chorus
