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.

I would take it into something like this and progressively go faster each time I go through it.
