Em                                 C
Gypsies danced around the campfire, Shook their tamborines
Em                                               C
They were waiting for the ghost of an outlaw, Sundown was his name
Em                                           C
As the midnight hour drew closer and the sky began to fall
Em
You could see his shadow in the light of the moon
C
He heard the gypsies ca--ll

Em                                    C
She had hair as black as darkness, her eyes were emerald green
Em                                    C
Oh, her voice was soft and tender, And oooh, she loved to sing
Em                                    C
She will sing no more or dance again, and shake her tamborines
Em
They have taken her away, she's dead and gone
C
You could hear the Gypsies sing

Em                             C
Silver devils in his holsters, Stars strapped to his heels
Em                           C
There was fire in his eyes, they say that he was dressed to kill
Em                                   C
He had hands as fast as lightning, A heart as cold as steel
Em                                          C
He had come for the one who took her life,  To lie him in boothill

I tabbed this from the original 1977 LP Hurry Sundown. It's the best I could do with it. 
expert tabbers can probably pick this apart. The rest of you just have fun with it.
