Performed by Sam Cooke

EM7 Gbm7 Abm7 Abdim7 C#m6
In a quaint caravan, there's a lady they call the gypsy
Gbm7 C#m6 Gbm7 B7 EM7
She can look in the future and drive away all of your fears
Gbm7 Abm7
Your fears, your fears, your fears
Gbm7
Every one of your fears
EM7 Gbm7 Abm7
Everything will come right
Abdim7 C#m6
If you'll only believe the gypsy
Gbm7 C#m6 Gbm7 B7 EM7 Gbm7 EM7 Fdim7
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears
Gbm7 EM7
She looked in my hand and told me
Gbm7 EM7
My lover was always true
Bbm7#11 D#7 Abm
Yet in my heart I knew dear
Gbm7 B7
Somebody else was kissing you
EM7 Gbm7 Abm7 Abdim7 C#m6
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
Gbm7 C#m6 Gbm7 B7 EM7
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
(Repeat the first verse instrumental)
Gbm7 EM7
She looked in my hand and told me
Gbm7 EM7
My lover was always true
Bbm7#11 D#7 Abm
Yet in my heart I knew dear
Gbm7 B7
Somebody else was kissing you
EM7 Gbm7 Abm7 Abdim7 C#m6
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
Gbm7 C#m6 Gbm7 B7 EM7
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
