Her yellow dress was torn

She took shelter from my storm

In the tears that soaked her hair

Nobody would dare

Climb the Gypsy Tree
Am Em
Stay with me

Remain with me
Am Em
Stay with me

Tonight

And I stand at Hammersmith Station
B7 Em D
Waiting for the beating to begin

It's Summer in the sunshine

And Autumn in the wind

As the lights they flashed on by
C/G
A thick black smoke filled the sky
D
I could stop this if I try

If you showed me how
Em
With a Bible on her knee

She smiled and said to me

This is a love song, can't you see?

Night-time burned her with it's sin

Like the cockerel when it crew

It's all over yes I knew

And I wept bitterly for you

Beneath a Gypsy Tree

Stay with me
