A           G       E      D  C
Went to the fortune teller

A      G       E    D  C
Had my fortune read

  A           G       E        D  C
I didn't know what to tell her

        A             G     E    D  C
I had a dizzy feeling in my head

A               G          E    D  C
Then she took a look at my palm

          A          G            E    D  C
She said, Sonny, you feel kind of warm

        A               G       E    D  C
And she looked into her crystal ball

E                   A G5/A  A G5/A
And said, You're in lo...   ...ove

  A         G             E    D  C
I said, how could that be so

           A                G       E    D  C
I'm not in passion with the girls I know

     A             G          E    D  C
She said, When the next one arrives

          A         G      E    D  C
You'll be looking into her eyes
[Break]
A        G      E      D     C
  Ahh... ahh... ahh... ahh...ah  (4x)
[Verse]
  A          G    E    D  C
I left there in a hurry

        A             G      E    D  C
Looking forward to my big surprise

    A        G    E       D  C
The next day I discovered

         A              G         E    D  C
That the fortune teller told me a lie

  A            G            E    D  C
I hurried back down to that woman

   A      G       E    D  C
As mad as I could be

  A          G            E    D  C
I told her I didn't see nobody

A                G           E    D  C
Why'd she make a fool out of me

A        G     E         D  C
Then something struck me

   A          G        E    D  C
As if it came from up above

      A              G       E      D  C
While looking at the fortune teller

          A G5/A  A G5/A
I fell in lo...   ...ove

 A         G     E     D  C
Now I'm a happy fellow

          A              G       E      D  C
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller

      A        G        E    D  C
We're happy as we could be

N.C.                                  E   G
Now I get my fortune told for free
[Break] A G G E D D C D A G E D C (2x) [Outro]
A         G     E      D  C
Now I'm a happy fellow

          A              G       E      D  C
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller

      A        G        E    D  C
We're happy as we could be

N.C.                                E   G
Now I get my fortune told for free

A        G      E      D     C
  Ahh... ahh... ahh... ahh...ah    (2x, then fade out)
