[Verse]
C/E G/D | Am G C/G G
Went to see the gypsy
Am G C/G G C/G G
Staying in a big hotel
Am G
He smiled when he saw me coming
Am
And he wished me well
[Verse]
D G C/G G C/G G
His room was dark and crowded
Am G C/G G C/G G
The lights were low and dim
C C/B Am
“How are you?” he asked of me
D G
And I asked the same of him
[Verse]
Am G C/G G C/G G
I went down to the lobby
Am G C/G G C/G G
To make a small call out
Am G
A pretty dancing girl was there
Am
And she began to shout
[Middle 8]
D G
Go on back to see the gypsy
Am G
He can rid you of your fear
Am G
He did it in Las Vegas
Am
And he can do it here
[Link]
F G C/G G
Oh, the lights were on the river
F G C/G G
Shining from outside
F G
I contemplated ev’ry move
F F [break]
Or at least I tried
[Verse]
D D G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G G
I went back to see the gypsy
Am G C/G G C/G G
It was nearly early dawn
Am G
The gypsy’s door was open
Am
But the gypsy was gone
[Middle 8] (coda variation)
D G C/G G
And that pretty dancing girl
Am G C/G G
Oh, she could not be found
C C/B Am
So I watched the sun come rising
Am
In a little Minnesota town
