Intro (8 counts):
G5
G5
Gypsy woman
Come inside now
D C G5
And take a load off your feet
You've been pounding the pavement
D C G5
Ain't told a fortune in weeks
She spends her money on tequila
D C G5
She says it keeps her warm
They call her many things but her name's Cecilia
D C
Now don't you know, now don't you know
G C D G
Hey hey hey hey Cecilia
C D G
Don't you know the streets will kill ya
C D G
Don't you know your mama misses ya
C D
Don't you know don't you know
G5 (8 counts)
G5
Gypsy woman
Say she don't need ya
D C G5
And asks for a ride to the liquor store
She kills the bottle
Gives praise to Jesus
D C G5
Then passes out on your living room floor
She tells the story of a shotgun wedding
D C G5
And the birth of a stillborn child
She was only 13 and her body wasn't ready
D (once)
Babies watching babies die
G C D G
Hey hey hey hey Cecilia
C D G
Don't you know the streets will kill ya
C D G
Don't you know your mama misses ya
C D
Don't you know don't you know

Hey hey hey hey Cecilia
