Gypsy Woman Chords - Martin Sexton

Intro

F E Am D/F#

VERSE

F E Am D/F# I was a fool I was so much younger then F E Am The night she took me by surprise F E Am D/F# I should have known all the trouble that I'd be in F E Am But then she hooked me with those eyes F E Am D/F# Her drink was gin as she said tonight would never end F E Am But her love weighed so heavy on my mind F E Am D5 For she was the live-in lover of a drummer I called my friend F E D She weren't nothing but a gypsy in disguise

CHORUS

F E Am D/F# Gypsy woman how'd you do that to me F E Am Am/G Am/F Am/E Gypsy woman stole my heart and then you set me free F E Am D/F# Gypsy woman how'd you learn to like that F E Am Gypsy woman come on back

VERSE

F E Am D/F# Spending my wages on rose and wine F E Am We'd ride the days and we'd dance the nights F E Am D/F# The things we could do in my old VW F E Am The city lights never seemed so bright from the reservoir F E Am D/F# And my friends they would warn me saying she's one fickle queen F E Am Better get out while the getting is good my friend F E And besides her old drummer man is looking Am D/F# And he's so big and bad and mean F E F E But what I didn't know then is what I know too well F E D She played me like a violin

Chorus

F G Am So you tell me that you're leaving me now F G Am After all the times that we have been through F G Am As your clown how am I gonna ever go home F G D Somebody tell me what am I gonna do

VERSE

F E And so it goes I lost my pride Am D/F# And I lost my job F E Am This gypsy woman took nearly every thing I called my own Am It was a big surprise F E Am D So next time she comes dancing prancing through the town F E Gonna recognize the gypsy F E I'm gonna recognize the gypsy F E Am 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.
