Intro: F5 E5 A5 D5 VERSE: F5 E5 A5 D5 I was a fool I was so much younger then F5 E5 A5 The night she took me by surprise F5 E5 A5 D5 I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in F5 E5 A5 But then she hooked me with those eyes F5 E5 A5 D5 Her drink was gin as she said tonight would never end F5 E5 A5 But her love weighed so heavy on my mind F5 E5 A5 D5 For she was the live-in lover of a drummer I called my friend F5 E5 D5 She weren't nothing but a gypsy in disguise CHORUS: F5 E5 A5 D5 Gypsy woman how'd you do that to me F5 E5 A5 A5 A5 A5 Gypsy woman stole my heart and then you set me free F5 E5 A5 D5 Gypsy woman how'd you learn to like that F5 E5 A5 Gypsy woman come on back VERSE: F5 E5 A5 D5 Spending my wages on rose and wine F5 E5 A5 We'd ride the days and we'd dance the nights F5 E5 A5 D5 The things we could do in my old VW F5 E5 A5 The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir F5 E5 A5 D5 And my friends they would warn me saying she's one fickle queen F5 E5 A5 Better get out while the getting is good my friend F5 E5 And besides her old drummer man is looking A5 D5 And he's so big and bad and mean F5 E5 F5 E5 But what I didn't know then is what I know too well F5 E5 D5 She played me like a violin (Chorus) F5 G5 A5 So you tell me that you're leaving me now F5 G5 A5 After all the times that we have been through F5 G5 A5 As your clown how am I gonna ever go home F5 G5 D5 Somebody tell me what am I gonna do VERSE: F5 E5 And so it goes I lost my pride A5 D5 And I lost my job F5 E5 A5 This gypsy woman took nearly every thing I called my own A5 It was a big surprise F5 E5 A5 D5 So next time she comes dancing prancing through the town F5 E5 Gonna recognize the gypsy F5 E5 I'm gonna recognize the gypsy F5 E5 A5 Gonna recognize the gypsy in disguise To give it an ending that is more like one of Martin Sexton?s live versions of this song, play something like this. Give it a little Gypsy style.
