Verse
G#m
The fortune queen of New Orleans
G# C#m D#
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
G#m
On the back seat were scratches
G# C#m Cb D#
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
G#m
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
G# C#m D#
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
G#m
I followed her to some darkened room
G# C#m Cb D#
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[Chorus]
G#m
Dark lady laughed and danced
D# D#7
And lit the candles one by one
D#
Danced to her gypsy music
C#m G#m D#7
Till her brew was done
G#m
Dark lady played black magic
D# D#7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D#
She told me more about me
C#m G#m D#7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 2]
G#m
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
G#
And mumbled some words
C#m D#
That were so strange to me
G#m
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
G# C#m
My eyes saw red but the card
Cb D#
Still stayed black
G#m
She said the man you love is secretly true
G# C#m D#
To someone else who is very close to you
G#m
My advice is that you leave this place
G# C#m Cb D#
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
[Chorus]
G#m
Dark lady laughed and danced
D# D#7
And lit the candles one by one
D#
Danced to her gypsy music
C#m G#m D#7
Till her brew was done
G#m
Dark lady played black magic
D# D#7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D#
She told me more about me
C#m G#m D#7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 3]
G#m
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
G# C#m D#
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
G#m
Then I remembered her strange perfume
G# C#m Cb D#
And how I smelled it once in my own room
G#m
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
G# C#m D#
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
G#m
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
G# C#m Cb D#
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[Chorus]
G#m
Dark lady laughed and danced
D# D#7
And lit the candles one by one
D#
Danced to her gypsy music
C#m G#m D#7
Till her brew was done
G#m
Dark lady played black magic
D# D#7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D#
She told me more about me
C#m G#m D#7
Than I knew mysel
