A#m            F# D#m      F#
Jackie's just 17,     and hard to please
A#m        F#         D#m      A#m
She steps on the scene, like a gypsy queen.
A#m        F#              D#m          F#     G#
And she's looking at everybody, with a secret smile
A#m        F#                 D#m
She got a black tattoo on her body
F#
And it says

Chorus:
A#m
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
A#m
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
A#m
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
        A#m                          F#
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
        D#m                          F#
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
"When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"

You don't know what she's seen, or where she's been
But you catch her eye, and it makes you freeze
And she's looking at everybody, with a secret smile
She got a black tattoo on her body
And it says

Chorus

A#m
The devil's dancing toe to toe
When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go
The devil's dancing toe to toe
When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go
The devil's dancing toe to toe
When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go

Chorus
