Went to see the gypsy
A#m G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
Staying in a big hotel
A#m G#
He smiled when he saw me coming
A#m
And he wished me well
[Verse 2]
D# G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
His room was dark and crowded
A#m G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
The lights were low and dim
C# C#/C A#m
“How are you?” he asked of me
D# G#
And I asked the same of him
[Verse 3]
A#m G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
I went down to the lobby
A#m G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
To make a small call out
A#m G#
A# pretty dancing girl was there
A#m
And she began to shout
[Middle 8]
D# G#
Go on back to see the gypsy
A#m G#
He can rid you of your fear
A#m G#
He did it in Las Vegas
A#m
And he can do it here

F# G# C#/G# G#
Oh, the lights were on the river
F# G# C#/G# G#
Shining from outside

I contemplated ev’ry move
F# F# [break]
Or at least I tried
[Verse 4]
D# D# G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
I went back to see the gypsy
A#m G# C#/G# G# C#/G# G#
It was nearly early dawn
A#m G#
The gypsy’s door was open
A#m
But the gypsy was gone
[Middle 8] (coda variation)

And that pretty dancing girl
A#m G# C#/G# G#
Oh, she could not be found
C# C#/C A#m
So I watched the sun come rising
A#m
In a little Minnesota town
