G C G C G
gypsy gal , the hands of harlem ,
C G
cannot hold you to it’s heat
C G
your temperature’s too hot for taming ,
C G
your flaming feet burn up the street .

C G C G
i Am homeless , come and take me ,
C G C D
into reach of your rattling drums .
G C G C
i got to know , babe , all about my fortune ,
G C G
down along my restless palms .

G C G C

G C G C G
gypsy gal , you got me swallowed ,
C G
i have fallen far beneath
C G C G
your pearly eyes , so fast and slashing ,
C G
and your flashing diamond teeth .

C G C G
the night is pitch black , come and make my ,
C G C D
pale face fit into place , ah , please!
G C G C
i got to know , babe , i’m nearly drowning ,
G C G
if it’s you my lifelines trace .

G C G C

G C G C G
i been wondering all about me ,
C G
ever since i seen you there .
C G C
on the cliffs of your wildcat charms i’m riding ,
G C G
i know i’m around you but i don’t know where .

C G C G
you have slayed me , you have made me ,

C G C D
i got to laugh halfways of my heels .
G C G C
i got to know , babe , will you surround me ,
G C G
so i can know if i’m really real .

G C G C G
