Verse:

Cm
I was only seventeen

I fell in love with a gypsy queen
     G#  G   G#   G   (play "gypsy riff" twice)
She told me "hold on"
      Cm
Her father was the leading man
                                      G#-G
Said "You're not welcome on our land
               C#-C
Then as a foe

He told me to go

Then play the "gypsy riff"

verse:
He took me to a little shack
And put a whip across my back
Then told her: "Leave me"
I was out for quite a time
Came back with her on my mind
Sweet little girl
She means all the world

Guitar bridge followed by the "gypsy riff"

Organ solo: just play the "gypsy riff" for a really long time. Throughout the entire keyboard solo.

verse:
Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him ..............."gypsy riff"
Strong enough to fight and win .............."gypsy riff"
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

Guitar bridge then the "gypsy riff"
