~Verse 1. The [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] fortune queen		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] of New Orleans
was [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] brushing her cat in her		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] black limou		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] sine,
[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] On the back seat were		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] scratches from
the [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] marks of men		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] her for		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] tune		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] she had wo......n.
~Verse 2. You [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] couldn't see through		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] the tinted glass,
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] she said, "Home James" and		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] he hit		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] the gas.
I [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] followed her to some		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] darkened room
she [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] took my money, she said, "I'll		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] be with you		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] -		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] soo.....n".		 [E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]
~Chorus [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Dark lady laughed and danced and lit		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] the candles one by one,
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] danced to her gypsy music		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] 'til her		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] brew was		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] done.
[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Dark lady played black magic 'til the		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] clock struck on the twelve,
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] she told me more about me than I		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] knew my		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] self.		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison]
3. She [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] dealt two cards, - a		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] Queen and a Three,
and [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] mumbled some words that were		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] so strange to		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] me,
and [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] then she turned up a		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] two-eyed Jack,
my [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] eyes saw red but the		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] card still stayed		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] bla....		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] ck.
4. She [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] said the man you love is		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] secretly true,
to [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] someone else who is		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] very close to		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] you,
[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] My advice is that you		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] leave this place,
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] never come back and for		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] get you ever saw my		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] -		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] fa....ce.		 [E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Unison]

Chorus [Am]Dark lady laughed and danced and lit[Em] the candles one by one,
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)

on the Minor Seventh] 'til her		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] brew was		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] done.
[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Dark lady played black magic 'til the		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)

on the Minor Seventh] knew my		 [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] self.		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison]
5. So [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] I ran home and crawled		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] in my bed,
I [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] couldn't sleep because		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] of all the things		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] she said.
[AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Then I remembered		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] her strange perfume,
and [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] how I smelled it once in		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] my own		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] -		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] roo....m.
6. So [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] I sneaked back and caught her		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] with my man,
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] laughing and kissing till they		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] saw the gun in my		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] hand.
The [AmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] next thing I knew they were		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] dead on the floor,
dark [AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] lady would never turn a		 [DmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Minor Seventh] card up any		 [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Minor Sixth] -		 [EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mo.....re.		 [E7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
