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