Verse
Cm
The fortune queen of New Orleans
C Fm G
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
Cm
On the back seat were scratches
C Fm Eb G
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Cm
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
C Fm G
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
Cm
I followed her to some darkened room
C Fm Eb G
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"
[Chorus]
Cm
Dark lady laughed and danced
G G7
And lit the candles one by one
G
Danced to her gypsy music
Fm Cm G7
Till her brew was done
Cm
Dark lady played black magic
G G7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
G
She told me more about me
Fm Cm G7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 2]
Cm
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
C
And mumbled some words
Fm G
That were so strange to me
Cm
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
C Fm
My eyes saw red but the card
Eb G
Still stayed black
Cm
She said the man you love is secretly true
C Fm G
To someone else who is very close to you
Cm
My advice is that you leave this place
C Fm Eb G
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face
[Chorus]
Cm
Dark lady laughed and danced
G G7
And lit the candles one by one
G
Danced to her gypsy music
Fm Cm G7
Till her brew was done
Cm
Dark lady played black magic
G G7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
G
She told me more about me
Fm Cm G7
Than I knew myself
[Verse 3]
Cm
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
C Fm G
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Cm
Then I remembered her strange perfume
C Fm Eb G
And how I smelled it once in my own room
Cm
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
C Fm G
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
Cm
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
C Fm Eb G
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore
[Chorus]
Cm
Dark lady laughed and danced
G G7
And lit the candles one by one
G
Danced to her gypsy music
Fm Cm G7
Till her brew was done
Cm
Dark lady played black magic
G G7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
G
She told me more about me
Fm Cm G7
Than I knew mysel
