Verse
Gm
The fortune queen of New Orleans
G Cm D
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
Gm
On the back seat were scratches
G Cm A# D
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Gm
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
G Cm D
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
Gm
I followed her to some darkened room
G Cm A# D
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
D D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
Cm Gm D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
D D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
Cm Gm D7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 2]
Gm
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
G
And mumbled some words
Cm D
That were so strange to me
Gm
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
G Cm
My eyes saw red but the card
A# D
Still stayed black
Gm
She said the man you love is secretly true
G Cm D
To someone else who is very close to you
Gm
My advice is that you leave this place
G Cm A# D
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
D D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
Cm Gm D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
D D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
Cm Gm D7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 3]
Gm
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
G Cm D
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Gm
Then I remembered her strange perfume
G Cm A# D
And how I smelled it once in my own room
Gm
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
G Cm D
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
Gm
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
G Cm A# D
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
D D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
Cm Gm D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
D D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
Cm Gm D7
Than I knew mysel
