      EM7       Gbm7           Abm7      Abdim7   C#m6
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
