  20 <p>Piano song. I shamelessly suggest a capo on the 3rd fret (sounding key
  21 Bb major).<br />
  22 Quite complicated, being such a simple (dull?) song. </p>

  29 Am               G
  30  Went to see the gypsy,
  31 Am                  G
  32  Stayin' in a big hotel.
  33    Am                    G
  34 He smiled when he saw me coming,
  35              Am                   D
  36 And he said, &quot;Well, well, well.&quot;
  37                       G
  38 His room was dark and crowded,
  39 Am                  G
  40 Lights were low and dim.
  41         C     G/b Am     G
  42 How are you?&quot; he said to me,
  43   Am
  44 I said it back to him.
  45
  46 D             G
  47   I went down to the lobby
  48 Am                    G
  49  To make a small call out.
  50 Am
  51  A pretty dancing girl was there,
  52
  53 And she began to shout,
  54        D               G
  55 &quot;Go on back to see the gypsy.
  56        Am           (Bm) G     [piano bass line: c  b  a  g]
  57 He can move you from the rear,
  58 C         G/b  Am   G
  59 Drive you from your fear,
  60 C         G/b     Am  G
  61 Bring you through the mirror.
  62    C      G/b    Am G
  63 He did it in Las Vegas,
  64     Am
  65 And he can do it here.&quot;
  66
  67 F                             G
  68 Outside the lights were shining
  69        F        F
  70 On the river of tears,
  71   F                     G
  72 I watched them from the distance
  73      C           Am
  74 With music in my ears.
  75
  76        D               G
  77 I went back to see the gypsy,
  78        Am     D     G
  79 It was nearly early dawn.
  80     Am               G
  81 The gypsy's door was open wide
  82         Am
  83 But the gypsy was gone,
  84          D              G
  85 And that pretty dancing girl,
  86 Am               G
  87 She could not be found.
  88      C            G/b      Am
  89 So I watched that sun come rising
  90 G         Am
  91 From that little Minnesota town,
  92           D                G
  93 From that little Minnesota town.
