Verse
Dm
The fortune queen of New Orleans
D Gm A
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
Dm
On the back seat were scratches
D Gm F A
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Dm
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
D Gm A
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
Dm
I followed her to some darkened room
D Gm F A
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark lady laughed and danced
A A7
And lit the candles one by one
A
Danced to her gypsy music
Gm Dm A7
Till her brew was done
Dm
Dark lady played black magic
A A7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
A
She told me more about me
Gm Dm A7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 2]
Dm
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
D
And mumbled some words
Gm A
That were so strange to me
Dm
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
D Gm
My eyes saw red but the card
F A
Still stayed black
Dm
She said the man you love is secretly true
D Gm A
To someone else who is very close to you
Dm
My advice is that you leave this place
D Gm F A
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark lady laughed and danced
A A7
And lit the candles one by one
A
Danced to her gypsy music
Gm Dm A7
Till her brew was done
Dm
Dark lady played black magic
A A7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
A
She told me more about me
Gm Dm A7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 3]
Dm
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
D Gm A
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Dm
Then I remembered her strange perfume
D Gm F A
And how I smelled it once in my own room
Dm
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
D Gm A
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
Dm
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
D Gm F A
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark lady laughed and danced
A A7
And lit the candles one by one
A
Danced to her gypsy music
Gm Dm A7
Till her brew was done
Dm
Dark lady played black magic
A A7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
A
She told me more about me
Gm Dm A7
Than I knew mysel
