[Intro]
C#m    A    C#m    A


[Verse 1]
C#m                   A
Day into night, she's with me
    E                   A
How sweet is her warm embrace
B                    C#m
Safe in the scent of jasmine
   E           B        A  C#m  
So safe in her gold and lace


[Interlude]
 B A   C#m   B A   C#m


[Verse 2]
C#m              B     A
Mornings I find, she's left me
   C#m             B    A
So cold, so alone, but aware
  B                  C#m  A
I try to escape, she finds me
                 B          A
Oh run, though I may, she's there
                     C#m   
There, there, there, there


[Interlude]
F#5 B5 C#5    F#5 B5 C#5
F#5 B5  


[Verse 3]
C#5                  F#5
Luck is a lady whose smile
      B5        C#5    F#5 B5
Is as cold as a stone
C#5
She'll bring you things
     F#5              B5         C#5 F#5 B5
Many things you might never have known
         A5
But when your die is cast
B5                             C#5
She'll have the final laugh at you
       A5
She'll lock you in a duel
      B5                   C#5
Where you come out the fool


[Chorus]
C#5           A5       B5
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
    C#5           A5          F#5
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
C#5              A5   C#5        F#5
Beware of a love that you will regret!
    A5         G#5  F#5
Her love means only your death

C#5   A5  B5  C#5    A5  C#5  A5


[Verse 4]
C#5                   A5
Day into night, she's with me
C#5                   A5
Turn of a card, she's there
    B5                      C#5
The first time is free, you know
    A5       B5      A5
But from now on, pay me
            C#5
Me, me, me, me
C#5
(Hahahahahaha! You lose!)


[Chorus]
C#5           A5       B5
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
    C#5           A5          F#5
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
C#5              A5   C#5        F#5
Beware of a love that you will regret!
    A5         G#5  F#5
Her love means only your death
C#5           A5       B5
Beware of the Queen of Spades!
    C#5           A5          F#5
Her black widow's curse might find you yet
C#5              A5   C#5        F#5
Beware of a love that you will regret!
    A5         G#5       F#5    
Her love means only your death
