[Em]Gypsies danced around the campfire,[C] Shook their tamborines
[Em]They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sun[C]down was his name
[Em]As the midnight hour drew closer and the sky [C]began to fall
[Em]You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
[C]He heard the gypsies ca--ll
[Em]She had hair as black as darkness, her[C] eyes were emerald green
[Em]Oh, her voice was soft and tender, And[C] oooh, she loved to sing
[Em]She will sing no more or dance again, [C]and shake her tamborines
[Em]They have taken her away, she's dead and gone
[C]You could hear the Gypsies sing
