D         
The flashing eyes, the careless grin
     G
Weaving a tune which goes right through my skin
     C                               C7
Old songs, love songs, going to bed songs
         F                                                            F#  G     A     D
Ref: Dark-eyed gypsy you're running away with my heart


A lover, a friend, a flight of fancy 
The dew on a spider's web, the rainbow's end
Here today and gone tomorrow

Ref: Dark-eyed gypsy you're running away with my heart


       Bm                                      E     
His singing comes to me like white horses on the ocean,
       A                                         D
Glorious waves of passion, and I have no defenses,
    Bm                              E
I yield myself up to the rising and the ebbing,
    A                                                 D
And for a while all time has stood still for he's ...


.. the giver and the taker, the song-maker, 
The heart-breaker,
You can wake my heart up any time

Ref: Dark-eyed gypsy you're running away with my heart
