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

As we lay by candle light
D/F# Bm7
Our bodies locked in love

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 C9-5
A guiding light over stormy seas
