Like a forest fire

The band sang like a choir

Then later on we all hung out
                      F7
At Van Gogh's Cafe De Nuit

But she followed me to the Grand Hotel
F7
Hand in hand real slow
Bb                          Bb7
She kissed me with her eyes tight shut
                    F7
I couldn't help but stare
            C7                     Bb7
Because her face was like a Renoir

Well we stayed in each other's arms
F7
Tumblin' through the night
F7
Her delicate skin like porcelain
F7
Lit by the pale moonlight
     Bb7
We made love in every way
                      F7
Yes we set each other free

[Verse 5]
F7
Then I told her that I had to leave
F7
We were playing in Marseille
F7
She smiled and kissed me once Then she said "Aley" (I'll stay)
  Bb7
I lay by the window
Bb7
Trying to catch some air
F7
The room was thick with sparkling dust
F7
From the village square
    C7
The sun was slowly rising
C7
Casting shadows from the trees
        Bb7                      Bb
I could hear the cowboys talking
N.C.                     F7
About the gypsy girl and me
F7
I said uh woo hoo
F7
Well she brought a friend to see the show
F7
She was a gypsy too
F7
We laughed together all night long
F7
She showed me her tattoo
   Bb7
It covered her from head to toe
                  F7
In religious imagery
           C7                     Bb
And on her back in an angel's arms
N.C.                   F7
Was the gypsy girl and me
