Verse 1
The [Cm]fortune queen of New Orleans
Was [C]brushing her cat in her [Fm]black [G]limou-sine
[Cm]On the back seat were scratches
From the [C]marks of men her [Fm]fortune she had [Eb]won[G]
[Cm]Couldn't see through the tinted glass
She [C]said, "Home James" [Fm]he hit the [G]gas
I [Cm]followed her to some darkened room
She [C]took my money, she said, [Fm]"I'll be with you [Eb]soon"[G]
Chorus
[Cm]Dark lady laughed and danced
And lit the [G]candles one by [G7]one
[G]Danced to her gypsy music
Till her [Fm]brew was [Cm]done[G7]
[Cm]Dark lady played black magic
Till the [G]clock struck on the [G7]twelve
[G]She told me more about me
Than I [Fm]knew [Cm]myself[G7]
Verse 2
[Cm]She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
And mumbled some [C]words
That were [Fm]so strange to [G]me
[Cm]Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
My [C]eyes saw red but the [Fm]card
Still stayed [Eb]black[G]
[Cm]She said the man you love is secretly true
To [C]someone else who is [Fm]very close to [G]you
[Cm]My advice is that you leave this place
Never [C]come back and [Fm]forget you ever saw my [Eb]face[G]

[C#m]So I ran home and crawled in my bed
I [C#]couldn't sleep because of [F#m]all the things she [G#]said
[C#m]Then I remembered her strange perfume
And how [C#]I smelled it once in [F#m]my own [E]room[G#]
[C#m]So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
[C#]Laughing and kissing till they [F#m]saw the gun in my [G#]hand
[C#m]The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
Dark [C#]lady would never turn a [F#m]card up [E]anymore[G#]
