[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Went to the fortune teller
Had my fortune read
I didn't know what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Then she took a look at my palm
She said, Sonny, you feel kind of warm
And she looked into her crystal ball
And said, You’re in love
I said, I couldn't be so
I'm not in passion with the girls I know
She said, When the next one arrives
You’ll be looking into her eyes
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I left there in a hurry
Looking forward to my big surprise
The next day I discovered
That the fortune teller told me a lie
I hurried back down to that woman
As mad as I could be
I told her I didn't see nobody
Why'd she make a fool out of me
Then something struck me
As if they came from up above
While looking at the fortune teller
I fell in love

[Chorus]
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we could be
Now I get my fortune told for free

[Instrumental Outro]

[Audience Applause]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
