Am Em Am
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Am Em Am
I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right
G F
But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor
G Dm
Whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more
Chorus
F C
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
F C Cm7 C
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
Verse 2
Am Em Am
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
Am Em Am
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
G F
She says "My body is the light, my body is the way"
G Dm
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
Chorus
F C
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
F C Cm7 C
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?

Verse 3
Am Em Am
Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
Am Em Am
These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
G F
And there is no man or woman who can't be touched
G Dm
But you who come between them will be judged?
Chorus
F C
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
F C Cm7 C
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
