   Went to the fortune teller

And had my fortune read
 |D           C      |A        D/A 
I didn't know what to tell her

Then she looked into her crystal ball

And said, "You're in love."

I left there in a hurry

Lookin' forward to my big surprise

The next day I discovered
B       |E       E      D    D |B   A  B|
That the fortune teller told me lies

I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
And that she made a fool out of me

 Then something struck me
  |E               D  |B    A  B|
As if it came from up above
     |E              D      |B     
While lookin' at the fortune teller
A B      |D5     |     
I fell in love
