^D Once I knew a woman ^A/D Who l^G/Dived in Gypsy ways

And ^A/Dwe made Gypsy love In those my ^G/DGypsy days ^D

She wore ^A/Dbroadcloth and rock jewels And ^G/Dsecond hand lace

Her ^A/Dqueenly tatters hung over Her ^G/Dperfect form and grace ^D ^A/C#

We would ^G/Btalk for hours about ^A6any thing From the ^D/F#front page news to ^A/GYeats ^G

About the New Jer^D/F#usalem that ^Gquietly waits ^E7/G# in ^Asus4everyone ^A ^Bbdim

And then she’^G/Bd fill the room with sprin^A6g root and sage As we ^F#mlay by ^D/F#candle l^A/Gight ^G

Our bodies ^D/F#locked in love ^Bm7 Em7 D6 C13+11 from midnight to the morning sun

When ^A/C#we were one ^G/B ^Gm6/Bb ^A7sus4 ^A7 She ^Dwalked the earth lightly ^A/D

One ^G/Dinch above this world A ^A/Ddreamy blue-eyed moon goddess

With an ^G/DAndalusian swirl ^D She was a ^A/Dfierce of spirit ^D/F#

Inno^G6cence unchained No ^Em7heir to the ills of Adam ^A/C#

My P^Garadise reg^D/F#ained ^Em7 ^D ^A/C# Then she ^G/Bled me down to the ^A6edge of town

Where we ^D/F#lit our Buddha ^Gmaj7sticks As we floated ^D/F#high above

^Gherringbone b^E7/G#ricks in dark ^Asus4galleries ^A ^Bbdim A ^G/Bstreet lamp made her ^A6eyes to shine

Like a ^D/F#beacon in the ^Gmaj7night Offering this ^D/F#mariner ^Bm7 Em7 D6 C13+11 A guiding light over stormy seas
