       A          D      A
Silver coins that jingle jangle

Fancy shoes that dance in time
        A       D      A
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes
          A      E
Seemed to sing a gypsy rhyme.
       A         D       A
Yellow clover in tangled blossoms
     A            E
In a meadow silky green
          A       D      A

A gentle breeze from fragrant meadows
          A              E
Stirs the darkness in my mind
           A           D      A
Oh, gentle woman, you sleep beside me
               A        E         A
And you little know who haunts my mind.
      A     D           A
Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter
      A              E
As it dances through my head
         A      D        A
While my tender wife and babies
         A   E     A
Slumber soft-ly in their bed.

And the taste of life's sweet wine.
               E                     A
The thrill and taste of life's sweet wine
