Verse 1
A
Her hair fell in braids like twin rivers of midnight
D A
flowing down through the snow.
D A
Her eyes seemed to hold the secret of ages
E A
you could guess at but you'd never know.
Verse 2
A
I seen her first being beat by a lover.
D A
She was either his sweetheart or wife.
D A
I never could stand to see beauty mistreated,
E A
so I set his soul free with my knife.
Chorus
D A
I traded my dreams to a wandering
E A
gypsy girl, sold her my soul for a kiss.
D A
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbon,
E A
but the gypsy's the girl that I miss.
Verse 3
A
Sometimes when I hear the wail of a coyote
D A
as he searches for love in the night
D A
my heart starts to yearn for the love of the gypsy
E A
like a blind man must long for his sight.
Verse 4
A
For awhile, I thought I'd found an angel from heaven.
D A
She gave me true love complete.
D A
I found her one night in the arms of a gambler,
E A
she cursed me and spat at my feet.
Chorus
D A
I traded my dreams to a wandering
E A
gypsy girl, sold her my soul for a kiss.
D A
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbon,
E A
but the gypsy's the girl that I miss.
Verse 5
A
I seen her today in Alfredo's cantina,
D A
the sight was too much to endure.
D A
I shot her down in cold blood as she stood there.
E A
Tomorrow they'll hang me for sure.
Verse 6
A
As I sit in my cell and wait for the hanging,
D A
I blame no one but myself.
D A
But I'd rather have had one hour with a gypsy
E A
than a lifetime with somebody else.
Chorus
D A
I traded my dreams to a wandering
E A
gypsy girl, sold her my soul for a kiss.
D A
She gave me her love for a bunch of red ribbon,
E A
but the gypsy's the girl that I miss.
E A
The gypsy's the girl that I miss.
