THE GYPSY
By: Billy Reed
The Ink Spots, Dinah Shore, Charlie Parker
Key: C

7 -7   -8    8 -7 -8
In a quaint car-a-van
  -7    7* 7 -7   7   -6   6  -3  -5
There's a la-dy they call The Gyp-sy
-5   6   -6  7  -6  6   -5
She can look in the fu-ture
 6   -6   7 -6   6   -5    7
And drive a-way all your fears
7   -7   -8   8    -7   -8
Ev-‘ry-thing will come right
-7  7* 7  -7  7  -6    6  -3  -5
If you on-ly be-lieve The Gyp-sy
-5    6    -6  7 -6   6
She could tell at a glance
 -5  6   -6    6  -6  -7  -4   5
That my heart was so full of tears
 6    6    -6 5*  -5  -7   -7  7
She looked at my hand and told me
6   6  -6  5* -5  -8   7
My lov-er was al-ways true
 7   7  -7 -6*  7   8   8    -8
And yet in my heart I knew, dear
 -8   8  8* -9   8   -7  -6  -5
Some-bod-y else was kiss-ing you
 7   -7  -8   8  -7  -8
But I'll go there a-gain
  -7   7*  7  -7  7  -6    6  -3  -5
'Cause I want to be-lieve The Gyp-sy
 -5  6  -6  7  -6  6
That my lov-er is true
-5   6    -6   6   -6 -7  -8   8
And will come back to me some day
