Chords with lyrics

Words & Music: John Durrill

Verse 1:
  G minorGm
The fortune queen of New Orleans
  G+G            C minorCm     D MajorD
Was brushing her cat in her black limou-sine
G minorGm
On the back seat were scratches
     G+G        C minorCm       Bb majorBb D MajorD
From the marks of men her fortune she had won
G minorGm
Couldn't see through the tinted glass
  G+G         C minorCm     D MajorD
She said, "Home James" he hit the gas
 G minorGm
I followed her to some darkened room
  G+G             C minorCm        Bb majorBb  D MajorD
She took my money, she said, "I'll be with you soon"

Chorus:
G minorGm
Dark lady laughed and danced
      D MajorD       D7D7
And lit the candles one by one
D MajorD
Danced to her gypsy music
     C minorCm    G minorGm  D7D7
Till her brew was done
G minorGm
Dark lady played black magic
     D MajorD          D7D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D MajorD
She told me more about me
    C minorCm  G minorGm   D7D7
Than I knew myself

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

Chorus:
G minorGm
Dark lady laughed and danced
      D MajorD       D7D7
And lit the candles one by one
D MajorD
Danced to her gypsy music
     C minorCm    G minorGm  D7D7
Till her brew was done
G minorGm
Dark lady played black magic
     D MajorD          D7D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D MajorD
She told me more about me
    C minorCm  G minorGm   D7D7
Than I knew myself

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

Chorus:
G minorGm
Dark lady laughed and danced
      D MajorD       D7D7
And lit the candles one by one
D MajorD
Danced to her gypsy music
     C minorCm    G minorGm  D7D7
Till her brew was done
G minorGm
Dark lady played black magic
     D MajorD          D7D7
Till the clock struck on the twelve
D MajorD
She told me more about me
    C minorCm  G minorGm  D7D7
Than I knew mysel
