As recorded by Styx (From the 1978 Album PIECES OF EIGHT) [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
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

Her love means only your death
