The Gipsy chords

The Gipsy

• G

(1 
capo 1st fret) 


Hi guys! These chords aren't perfect but they are pretty close. Please correct me. :) 


G               D/F#               A                 Bm7 
Step inside my tent, said she, I'd like to read you palm 
Leave the dollar in the jar, this won't take very long 
Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mind 
     G               D/F#               A                 B 
I'll tell you if you should quit now or if you should go on 


B                A                         B            A 
Then I said, now what do ya see? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
B              A                       B            F#m 
Where'll I go, what'll I be? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 


She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake 
She told me the town where I was born, she almost knew the date 
She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise 
She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight 


And then I said, now what do ya see? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
You are so old, you are so wise. Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy. 
Give me a sign, tell it to me. She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
Then she spoke most quietly, oh, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 


When you were a child at school they taught you quite a lot 
You were told when you should speak and when you should not 
You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at night 
A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not 


Then I said, now what do ya mean? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
Where'll I go, what'll I be? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 


Then when I came home that night to lie awake in bed 
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said 
And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get 
So if you feel you've no regrets, go have your fortune read 


Then I said, now what do ya mean? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
Where'll I go, what'll I be? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
You are so old, you are so wise. Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy. 
Give me a sign, tell it to me. She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 


Where'll I go, what'll I be? She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee. 
You are so old, you are so wise. Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy. 
Give me a sign, tell it to me. She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee.
