DmTropical night, Malaria moon
Dying stars of the silver screen
She danced that famous Gypsy dance
With a hole in her tambourine
DmI was young enough and dumb enough
I swallowed down my Mickey Finn
She'd hijacked a few hearts all right
I went into a tailspin
Bb Dm7/A Gm7
Don't sing me, don't sing me, don't sing me
Bb/FNo more gypsy Dmlove songs
Bb Dm7/A Gm7
Don't sing me, don't sing me, don't sing me
Bb/FNo more gypsy Dmlove songs
Gm/D Dm
Don't stir it up again
DmI put my arm around her waist
Says she, young man, you're getting warm
The room was going somewhere without me
And she laughed as she read my palm
Chorus
AmStillborn Elove, Fpassionate Cdreams, Dmpitiful Ggreed
And the Amsilver Etongues of the Ftinker Cgirls,
Who Dmthrow their book of Emlife at you
But Fdon't know how to Gread
DmShe was third generation Transylvanian
I was the seventh son of a seventh son
I begged the band don't play that tune
Please don't beguine the begun
DmWhen I awoke, she'd cut and run
She stole my blueprints and my change
Just a horseshoe and a note on the bed
And all it said was--strange
Chorus
