Capo 3rd Fret

Am                       G

Went to see the gypsy,
Am                    G
Stayin' in a big hotel.
       Am                                    G
He smiled when he saw me coming,
                      Am                       D
And he said, "Well, well, well."
                                         G
His room was dark and crowded,
Am                             C
Lights were low and dim.
                 C       G   Am       G
"How are you?" he said to me,
   Am
I said it back to him.


D                   G
I went down to the lobby
Am                           G
To make a small call out.
Am
A pretty dancing girl was there,

And she began to shout,
           
  D                          G
"Go on back to see the gypsy.
            Am                          G
He can move you from the rear,
C               G     Am    G
Drive you from your fear,
C                G       Am     G
Bring you through the mirror.
      C     G        Am G
He did it in Las Vegas,
      Am
And he can do it here."


        F                                            G
        Outside the lights were shining
                     F
        On the river of tears,
              F                                     G
        I watched them from the distance
                   C              Am
        With music in my ears.


            D                          G
I went back to see the gypsy,
            Am      D        G
It was nearly early dawn.
        Am                         G
The gypsy's door was open wide
              Am
But the gypsy was gone,
               D                      G
And that pretty dancing girl,
Am                         G
She could not be found.
          C                   G            Am
So I watched that sun come rising
G              Am
From that little Minnesota town.
                 D                       G
From that little Minnesota town.
