[Intro]

[Verse 1]
     Am           Em               Am
And where, where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
      Am                 Em          Am
I've heard all the wild reports, they can't be right
           G                                        F
But whose head is this she's dancing with on the threshing floor
        G                             Dm
Whose darkness deepens in her arms a little more
[Chorus]
      F                       C
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
  F                       C           Cm7  C
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
[Verse 2]
     Am           Em               Am
Ah the silver knives are flashing in the tired old cafe
     Am           Em               Am
A ghost climbs on the table in a bridal negligee
           G                                        F
She says "My body is the light, my body is the way"
        G                             Dm
I raise my arm against it all and I catch the bride's bouquet
[Chorus]
      F                       C
And where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?
  F                       C           Cm7  C
Where, where is my Gypsy wife tonight?

     Am           Em               Am
Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove
     Am           Em               Am
These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood
           G                                        F
And there is no man or woman who can't be touched
           G                                        Dm
But you who come between them will be judged?
