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