B Bm B Bm
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
G#m
From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
C#m
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
D#m C#m
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
D#m C#m F#7
That hypnotized me with love
Chorus:
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman
Verse 2:
She danced around and round to a guitar melody
From the fire her face was all aglow
How she enchanted me
Oh, how I'd love to hold her near
And kiss and forever whisper in her ear
Chorus 2:
I love you, gypsy woman
I love you, gypsy woman
Bridge:
G#m
All through the caravan
D#m
She was dancing with all the men
G#m
Waiting for the rising sun
D#m
Everyone was having fun
G#m
I hate to see the lady go
D#m
Knowing she'll never know
C#m /F# F#
That I love her, I love her
Coda (repeat to fade):
B C#m /F#
She was a gypsy woman

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official IMPRESSIONS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
