D                      A/D
   Once I knew a woman

     G/D
Who lived in Gypsy ways


    A/D
And we made Gypsy love


            G/D         D
In those my Gypsy days 


         A/D
She wore broadcloth and rock jewels


    G/D
And second hand lace


    A/D
Her queenly tatters hung over


    G/D                     D   A/C#
Her perfect form and grace 


         G/B                  A6
We would talk for hours about any thing


         D/F#               A/G   G
From the front page news to Yeats


                 D/F#        G              [ch]E7/G#[/ch]
About the New Jerusalem that quietly waits 


   Asus4    A   Bbdim
in everyone


               G/B                       A6             
And then she?d fill the room with spring root and sage


      F#m    D/F#    A/G    G
As we lay by candle light




           D/F#            Bm7
Our bodies locked in love 


     Em7      D6         C13+11
from midnight     to the morning sun


     A/C#         G/B    [ch]Gm6/Bb[/ch]  A7sus4   A7
When we were one 


    D                         A/D
She walked the earth lightly


    G/D
One inch above this world


  A/D
A dreamy blue-eyed moon goddess


        G/D               D
With an Andalusian swirl 

           
          A/D               D/F#
She was a fierce of spirit


    G6
Innocence unchained


   Em7                       A/C#
No heir to the ills of Adam


    G          D/F#   Em7  D   A/C#
My Paradise regained 


         G/B                A6
Then she led me down to the edge of town


         D/F#           Gmaj7
Where we lit our Buddha sticks


              D/F#      
As we floated high above 


G              [ch]E7/G#[/ch]         Asus4      A   Bbdim
herringbone   bricks in dark galleries


  G/B                  A6
A street lamp made her eyes to shine


       D/F#          Gmaj7
Like a beacon in the night


              D/F#     Bm7
Offering this mariner  

   Em7          D6  C13+11  
A  guiding light    over stormy seas


    A/C#      G/B  [ch]Gm6/Bb[/ch]    A7sus4   A7
And memories

D                    A/D
Once I loved a woman

    G/D
Who lived in Gypsy ways

           A/D
Would that I could return

                   [ch]Gm6/Bb[/ch]
To those my Gypsy days
