Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
D# G# D#
Cannot hold you to its heat
D# G# D#
Your temperature’s too hot for taming
D# G# D#
Your flaming feet are burning up the street
G#/A# D#/A# G#/A# D#
I am homeless, come and take me
G#/A# D#/A# G#/A# A# [= LINK]
Into reach of your rattling drums
D# G#/D# D* D#
Let me know, babe, about my fortune
D# G# D* C* [ D# ] [= END of VERSE]
Down along my restless palms

D# G# D#
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
D# G# D#
I have fallen far beneath
D# G# D#
Your pearly eyes, so fast an’ slashing

The night is pitch black, come an’ make my
G#/A# D#/A# G#/A# A# [= LINK]
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
D# G#/D# D* D#
Let me know, babe, I’m nearly drowning

I been wond’rin’ all about me
D# G# D#
Ever since I seen you there
D# G# D#
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I’m riding
D# D* C* D#
I know I’m ’round you but I don’t know where
G#/A# D#/A# G#/A# D#
You have slayed me, you have made me
G#/A# D#/A# G#/A# A# [= LINK]
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
D# G#/D# D* D#

D# G# D* C* [ D# ] [= END of VERSE]
So I can know if I’m really real
