🎸 Dark Lady chords by Cher

Words & Music: John Durrill

Verse 1:
  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
