Spanish Harlem Incident
Spanish Harlem Incident
Album version
[G]Gypsy [C]gal, the hands of [G]Harlem
Cannot [C]hold you to its [G]heat
Your tempera[C]ture's too hot for [G]taming
Your flaming [C]feet a-burnin' up the [G]street
[C/D]I am [G/D]homeless, [C/D]come and [G]take me
C/D G/D C/D D
To the reach of your rattling drums
C G C D(riff 1) G
Let me know, babe, all about my fortune
C D(riff 2) G
Down along my restless palms
Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
I have fallen far beneath
Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing
An' your flashing diamond teeth
The night is pitch black, come an' make my
Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
Let me know, babe, I am nearly drowning
If it's you my lifelines trace.
G' C G
I been wond'rin' all about me
G' C G
Ever since I seen you there
G' C G
On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding
G' C G
I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where
You have slayed me, you have made me
I got to laugh halfways off my heels
I got to know, babe, will you surround me
So I can know if I'm really real.
