In a quaint caravan, there's a lady they call the gypsy
[Gbm7] [C#m6] [Gbm7] [B7] [EM7]
She can look in the future and drive away all of your fears
[Gbm7] [Abm7]
Your fears, your fears, your fears
[Gbm7]
Every one of your fears
[EM7] [Gbm7] [Abm7]
Everything will come right
[Abdim7] [C#m6]
If you'll only believe the gypsy
[Gbm7] [C#m6] [Gbm7] [B7] [EM7] [Gbm7] [EM7] [Fdim7]
She could tell at a glance that my heart was so full of tears
[Gbm7] [EM7]
She looked in my hand and told me
[Gbm7] [EM7]
My lover was always true
Bbm7#11 [D#7] [Abm]
Yet in my heart I knew dear
[Gbm7] [B7]
Somebody else was kissing you
[EM7] [Gbm7] [Abm7] [Abdim7] [C#m6]
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
[Gbm7] [C#m6] [Gbm7] [B7] [EM7]
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
(Repeat the first verse instrumental)
[Gbm7] [EM7]
She looked in my hand and told me
[Gbm7] [EM7]
My lover was always true
Bbm7#11 [D#7] [Abm]
Yet in my heart I knew dear
[Gbm7] [B7]
Somebody else was kissing you
[EM7] [Gbm7] [Abm7] [Abdim7] [C#m6]
But I'll go there again cause I want to believe the gypsy
[Gbm7] [C#m6] [Gbm7] [B7] [EM7]
That my lover is true and will come back to me someday
