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