Cm                A#
Went to see the gypsy,
Cm                  A#
Stayin' in a big hotel.
    Cm                    A#
He smiled when he saw me coming,
               Cm              F
And he said, "Well, well, well."
                       A#
His room was dark and crowded,
Cm                   A#
Lights were low and dim.
        D#   A#/D Cm     A#
How are you?" he said to me,
   Cm
I said it back to him.

F                   A#
I went down to the lobby
Cm                    A#
To make a small call out.
Cm
A pretty dancing girl was there,
And she began to shout,
        F               A#
"Go on back to see the gypsy.
        Cm                A#
He can move you from the rear,
D#         A#/D  Cm  A#
Drive you from your fear,
D#         A#/D     Cm  A#
Bring you through the mirror.
    D#      A#/D  Cm A#
He did it in Las Vegas,
    Cm
And he can do it here."

G#                             A#
Outside the lights were shining
        G#       A#
On the river of tears,
  G#                     A#
I watched them from the distance
      D#         Cm
With music in my ears.

        F               A#
I went back to see the gypsy,
        Cm     F     A#
It was nearly early dawn.
    Cm               A#
The gypsy's door was open wide
        Cm
But the gypsy was gone,
           F             A#
And that pretty dancing girl,
 Cm               A#
She could not be found.
     D#            A#/D     Cm
So I watched that sun come rising
A#         Cm
From that little Minnesota town,
           F                A#
From that little Minnesota town.
