F                   Dm           C     F
I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen

F                   Dm                 C     F
And she could drink more wine than I'd ever seen

F                   Dm                C         F
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet

F             Dm                          C
And when the time was right she said that I would meet

   C
My destiny
[Verse 2]
F           Dm           C     F
I traveled round the world to find the sun

F           Dm               C     F 
I couldn't stop myself from having fun

F            Dm            C     F 
And then one day I met an Indian girl

F            Dm                      C
And she made me forget this troubled world

      C
We're living in

F         Dm           C     F 
I had a strange dream. In my hair

F        Dm           C     F 
I saw a pearly queen lying there

F         Dm       C     F 
And all around her feet flowers bloomed

F              Dm                      C
But they were made of silk and sequins two by two
[Verse 4]
F            Dm                  C     F 
I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen

And she could drink more wine than I'd ever seen

F             Dm        C            F
