[Verse 1]
[F]Ste[Em]p ins[G]id[A]e my[F] tent, said she,[Em]
"I'd [G]like to read [Am]you palm"
[F]Leave your dollar [Em]in the jar,
this [G]won't take very [A]long
[F]Leave the circus [Em]noise behind,
[G]close your eyes, [A]relax your mind
[F]I'll tell you, if [Em]you should leave
or [G]if you should [A]go on

[Verse 2]
Then I [A]said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
deedlee- dee"
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
[Am]deedlee- dee"
She [F]threw some sawdust [Em]in

[Verse 3]
the
air and [G]her hands began [Am]to shake
She [F]told me, the town where [Em]I was born,
she [G]almost knew [A]the date
She [F]lit a candle [Em]with her eyes and
[G]then she made [F]the table [Am]rise
She [F]took the dollar [Em]from the jar and
[G]then she guessed [A]my weight

[Verse 4]
[A]Then I said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
deedlee- dee"
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
deedlee- dee"
You are so old,
you are so wise
Deedlee- dumb, deedlee- dy
Then she spoke most quietly
[Am]Deedlee- dumb, [Em]deedlee- dee

[Verse 5]
[F]When you we a [Em]child in school
[G]they taught you quite [Am]a lot
[F]You were told when [Em]you should speak
[G]and when you [A]should not
You were [F]taught [Em]to read and write,
[G]to take your lessons [Em]home [Am]at night
A [F]little knowledge [Em]serves you well
but [G]the golden rule [A]does not

[Verse 6]
Then I said, [A]"Now what do you mean?"
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
deedlee- dee"
Gimme a sign, tell it to me?
She said, "Deedlee- dumb,
deedlee- dee"

[Verse 7]
[Am]Then [F]when I came hom[Em]e
that night to [G]lie awake in [A]bed
[F]I thought of that old g[Em]ypsy and
the [G]words that she had [A]said
And [F]now I say [Em]with due respect,
[G]the more we learn the worse [A]we get
So [F]if you think [Em]you've no regrets,
go [G]have your fortune [A]read

[Verse 8]
Then I [A]said, "Now what do ya see?"
She said, "Deedlee- dumb, deedlee- dee"
