Verse 1:
 
G#m
From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
C#m
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
D#m C#m
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
D#m C#m F#7
That hypnotized me with love
 
Chorus:
 
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman
 
Verse 2:
 
She danced around and round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh, how I'd love to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear
 
Chorus 2:
 
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
 
Bridge:
 
G#m
All through the caravan
D#m
She was dancing with all the men
G#m
Waiting for the rising sun
D#m
Everyone was having fun
G#m
I hate to see the lady go
D#m
Knowing she'll never know
C#m /F# F#
That I love her, I love her
 
Coda (repeat to fade):
 
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman
