Dark Lady

    Gm
The fortune queen of New Orleans
    G                       Cm          D
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
Gm
On the back seat were scratches
         G                Cm              Bb  D
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
Gm
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
    G                  Cm         D
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
  Gm
I followed her to some darkened room
    G                         Cm               Bb   D
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
            D              D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
         Cm       Gm   D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
         D                   D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
       Cm   Gm     D7
Than I knew myself

[Verse 2]
Gm
She dealt two cards, a queen and a three
                 G
And mumbled some words
          Cm            D
That were so strange to me
Gm
Then she turned up a two-eyed jack
   G                    Cm
My eyes saw red but the card
             Bb   D
Still stayed black
Gm
She said the man you love is secretly true
    G                  Cm            D
To someone else who is very close to you
Gm
My advice is that you leave this place
      G             Cm                     Bb   D
Never come back and forget you ever saw my face

[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
            D              D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
         Cm       Gm   D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
         D                   D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
       Cm   Gm     D7
Than I knew myself

[Verse 3]
Gm
So I ran home and crawled in my bed
  G                         Cm                 D
I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said
Gm
Then I remembered her strange perfume
        G                    Cm     Bb   D
And how I smelled it once in my own room
Gm
So I sneaked back and caught her with my man
G                              Cm                D
Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand
Gm
The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor
     G                       Cm         Bb   D
Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore

[Chorus]
Gm
Dark lady laughed and danced
            D              D7
And lit the candles one by one
D
Danced to her gypsy music
         Cm       Gm   D7
Till her brew was done
Gm
Dark lady played black magic
         D                   D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D
She told me more about me
       Cm   Gm   D7
Than I knew mysel
