While perusing the Van Morrison tabs on this site, I realized there was not one for 
So here it is.

Played in standard tuning in the key of G.
Intro for piano
This chord... I'm not sure what it's called. So let's call it "Am/B".

C      Am/B         Am        G
  Mama mama look at Emma Rose
C         Am/B            Am    G
  She's a-playin with the radio
  G   C   G   C   Am/B Am  G
  La, la, la, la, la,  la, la   x2

G         Em          C              D
  And the caravan has all my friends
G         Em             C           D
  It will stay with me until the end
C       Am/B     Am       G
  Gypsy Robin, Sweet Emma Rose
C         Am/B       Am            G
  Tell me everything I need to know
  G   C   G   C   Am/B Am  G
  La, la, la, la, la,  la, la


There is also some picking here, so you can fool around with the chords if you're 
with another person.


C    Am/B    Am    G  C     Am/B       Am        G
  Turn up your radio    and let me hear the song
C       Am/B              Am     G
  Switch on your electric light
C                Am/B     Am                   G
  Then we can get down to what is really wrong
C   Am/B    Am       G    C  Am/B      Am    G
  I long to hold you tight     so I can feel you
C       Am/B Am     G    C  Am/B    Am      G
  Sweet lady of the night I shall reveal you

G C           C Am/B            Am/B Am                 Am G
   Turn it up,       turn it up,        little bit higher    radio
G C           C Am/B            Am/B Am              Am G
   Turn it up,       turn it up,        so you know,      radio


  G   C   G   C   Am/B  Am  G
  La, la, la, la, la,   la, la  x2

G         Em                 C             D
  And the caravan is painted red and white
G            Em              C            D
  That means ev'rybody's staying overnight
C         Am/B                 Am                  G
  Now the barefoot gypsy player round the campfire sing and play
C       Am/B       Am            G
  And a woman tells us of her ways
  G   C   G   C   Am/B  Am  G
  La, la, la, la, la,   la, la  x2


C    Am/B  Am      G     C  Am/B            Am      G
  Turn up     your radio         and let me hear the song
C Am/B Am                         G
       Switch on your electric light
C   Am/B                  Am                   G
  Then we can get down to what is really wrong
C   Am/B         Am         G    C Am/B          Am  G
  I long just to hold you tight       so I can feel   you
C       Am/B Am     G     C Am/B        Am         G
  Sweet lady of the night       I shall reveal you
G C             C Am/B             Am/B Am                  Am G
    Turn it up,        turn it up,          little bit higher,   radio
G C           C Am/B               Am/B Am             Am G
    Turn it up,      that's enough,        so you know      it's got soul
G C       C Am/B        Am/B Am             Am G
    Radio,       radio          turn it up,      mm mm

Repeat
G C,  C Am/B,  Am/B Am,  Am G

while singing La, la, la, la... etc.


And there you have it. The phrasing is a bit tricky so it made it hard to get as 
as possible with the chord changes.
