C# F# C#
Gypsy gal, the hands of Harlem
C# F# C#
Cannot hold you to its heat
C# F# C#
Your temperature’s too hot for taming
C# F# C#
Your flaming feet are burning up the street
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# C#
I am homeless, come and take me
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# G# [= LINK]
Into reach of your rattling drums
C# F#/C# D* C#
Let me know, babe, about my fortune
C# F# D* C* [ C# ] [= END of VERSE]
Down along my restless palms
[Interlude] (2x)

C# F# C#
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
C# F# C#
I have fallen far beneath
C# F# C#
Your pearly eyes, so fast an’ slashing
C# D* C* C#
An’ your flashing diamond teeth
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# C#
The night is pitch black, come an’ make my
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# G# [= LINK]
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
C# F#/C# D* C#
Let me know, babe, I’m nearly drowning

C# F# C#
I been wond’rin’ all about me
C# F# C#
Ever since I seen you there
C# F# C#
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I’m riding
C# D* C* C#
I know I’m ’round you but I don’t know where
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# C#
You have slayed me, you have made me
F#/G# C#/G# F#/G# G# [= LINK]
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
C# F#/C# D* C#
I got to know, babe, will you surround me?
C# F# D* C* [ C# ] [= END of VERSE]
So I can know if I’m really real
