Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][E]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]fortune queen of [C]New Orleans
Was [A]brushing her cat
in her [Dm]black limou[E]sine
[Am]On the backseat were s[C]cratches from
The [A]marks of men her [Dm]fortune she had [C]won
[E]
[Am]Couldn't see through the [C]tinted glass
[A]She said, "Home James"
and [Dm]he hit the g[E]as
I [Am]followed her to some [C]darkened room
She [A]took my money,
she said "I'll [Dm]be with you s[C]oon"
[E]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Dark lady laughed and danced
and lit the [E]candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
till her [Am]brew was [E]done
[Am]Dark lady played black magic
till the [E]clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
than I [Am]knew [E]myself

[Verse 2]
She [Am]dealt two cards, a [C]queen and a three
And [A]mumbled some words
that were [Dm]so strange to me[E]
And [Am]then she turned up a [C]two-eyed jack
My [A]eyes saw red
but the [Dm]card still stayed [C]black
[E]
She [Am]said the man you love is [C]secretly true
To [A]someone else
who is [Dm]very close to [E]you
[Am]My advice is that you le[C]ave this place
[A]Never come back and
for[Dm]get you ever saw my f[C]ace
[E]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Dark lady laughed and danced
and lit the [E]candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
till her [Am]brew was [E]done
[Bbm]Dark lady played black magic
till the [F]clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
than I [Bbm]knew m[F]yself

[Verse 3]
So [Bbm]I ran home and crawled in m[Db]y bed
I [Bb]couldn't sleep because of [Ebm]all the things
she [F]said
[Bbm]Then I remembered her s[Db]trange perfume
And [Bb]how I smelled it was in [Ebm]my own roo[Db]m
[F]
So [Bbm]I sneaked back
and caught her [Db]with my man
[Bb]Laughing and kissing till they [Ebm]saw
the gun in my [F]hand
The [Bbm]next thing I knew
they were [Db]dead on the floor
Dark [Bb]lady would never
turn a [Ebm]card up anym[Db]ore
[F]

[Outro 1]
[Bbm]Dark lady laughed and danced
and lit the [F]candles one by one
Danced to her gypsy music
till her [Bbm]brew was d[F]one
[Bbm]Dark lady played black magic
till the [F]clock struck on the twelve
She told me more about me
than I [Bbm]knew m[F]yself
[Repeat and fade]
