  23 <p>The little figure that sets off the intro is used here and there where
  24 there is a transition from G to C. In the third verse the xxx330 chord
  25 formation (called G' in the chord table) is used for the Gs that start
  26 each line in the first part of the verse. <br />
  27 The strumming through the rest of the intro is of course only an
  28 approximation, as to which strings sound at which particular moment.</p>

 100 Gypsy gal, you got me swallowed
 101 I have fallen far beneath
 102 Your pearly eyes, so fast an' slashing
 103 An' your flashing diamond teeth
 104 The night is pitch black, come an' make my
 105 Pale face fit into place, ah, please!
 106 Let me know, babe, I am nearly drowning
 107 If it's you my lifelines trace.

 114 On the cliffs of your wildcat charms I'm riding

 116 I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where
 117 You have slayed me, you have made me
 118 I got to laugh halfways off my heels
 119 I got to know, babe, will you surround me
 120 So I can know if I'm really real.
