D             Dmaj7         D7        Dmaj7
The spirit of Fatima still rules the earth
D                  Dmaj7        D7             Dmaj7
And she knows your future, she knows what it's worth
Em             A#            D
Sister Fatima has God-given powers
Em                     A#               D
And on 42nd street, a shop that sells flowers
          B7
It's her palace.
 E           A
Come and be healed

And she knows all your business, your health
and your ills
She'll counsel your weddings, divorces, and wills
For full restoration, five dollars an hour
And with each consultation, a free holy flower
And if she likes you, why, you can have two

    G            D            Em             D
And I came from nowhere, like you and your friend
    G             D             Em         D
My searching and wandering went on without end
    Bm                 Am
My future was dim, my spirit was crushed
   Bm                     G              A
In one sacred moment, my questions were hushed

F                             Cm7
I'm a servant of fate in this garden of truth
F                       Cm7
A humble recruit of the taffeta booth
      Gm              A#m                  F
Where all things are known, but few are revealed
      Gm                  A#m              F
Where sins are forgotten, and sickness is healed
     D
For five dollars
      G        Am
The flower is free
