Words & Music: John Durrill [Verse 1]
The Gmfortune queen of New Orleans Was Gbrushing her cat in her Cmblack limou-Dsine GmOn the back seat were scratches From the Gmarks of men her Cmfortune she had Bbwon D GmCouldn't see through the tinted glass She Gsaid, "Home James" Cmhe hit the Dgas I Gmfollowed her to some darkened room She Gtook my money, she said, "CmI'll be with you Bbsoon"D
[Chorus]
GmDark lady laughed and danced And lit the Dcandles one by D7one DDanced to her gypsy music Till her Cmbrew was Gmdone D7 GmDark lady played black magic Till the Dclock struck on the D7twelve DShe told me more about me Than I Cmknew Gmmyself D7
[Verse 2]
GmShe dealt two cards, a queen and a three And mumbled some Gwords That were Cmso strange to Dme GmThen she turned up a two-eyed jack My Geyes saw red but the Cmcard Still stayed BbblackD GmShe said the man you love is secretly true To sGomeone else who is Cmvery close to Dyou GmMy advice is that you leave this place Never Gcome back and Cmforget you ever saw my Bbface D
[Chorus]
GmDark lady laughed and danced And lit the Dcandles one by D7one DDanced to her gypsy music Till her Cmbrew was Gmdone D7 GmDark lady played black magic Till the Dclock struck on the D7twelve DShe told me more about me Than I Cmknew Gmmyself D7
[Verse 3]
GmSo I ran home and crawled in my bed I Gcouldn't sleep because of Cmall the things she Dsaid GmThen I remembered her strange perfume And how GI smelled it once in Cmmy own Bbroom D GmSo I sneaked back and caught her with my man GLaughing and kissing till they Cmsaw the gun in my Dhand GmThe next thing I knew they were dead on the floor Dark Glady would never turn a Cmcard up anyBbmore D
[Chorus]
GmDark lady laughed and danced And lit the Dcandles one by D7one DDanced to her gypsy music Till her Cmbrew was Gmdone D7 GmDark lady played black magic Till the Dclock struck on the D7twelve DShe told me more about me Than I Cmknew GmmyselD7
