Witch Queen Of New Orleans

Song: Witch Queen of New Orleans Artist: Redbone Composers: Lolly & Pat Vegas Albums: Message from a drum / Witch Queen of New Orleans Tabbed by: DJ   7th Nov 2012 This song about Marie Laveau paints her in an evil light but the original famous Voodoo priestess was reported to be beautiful benign and charitable. Although after her death her daughter with the same name cultivated more of a sinister persona so it must be based on her. A simple version for acoustic guitar players CAPO: 3rd fret (Will then sound in recorded key of Gm) Chords names and fret positions are relative to the capo: Em7 = 020000   Am7 = x02010    A7sus4 = x02030 ^ = Emphasise the beat Please select a star rating for this tab many thanks ============================================================================= [Intro] e |------0---------0---------|  [x4] B |------0---------0---------| G |------0-----0---0---------| D |------2-----0--h2---------| A |------2-----2---2---0-h2--| E |---0----------------------| [Chorus] (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau) She’s the Witch Queen (Ahhh!) ...of New Or - leans       ^    ^    ^     ^     ^      Of New Or - leans               B|-------0----------------|--------------------|               G|--0-h2----0-2----0------|--------------------|               D|---------------2---0----|----0---------------|               A|------------------------|--2----0-2----0-----|               E|------------------------|------------3---0---| [Verse 1] I’m gonna tell you a story         strange as  it now seems     Of Zombie voo - doo gris - gris       And the Witch Queen of New Or - leans   ^     ^ ^ She lived in a wor - ld of magic      Pos - sessed by the Dev - il’s skew      From a shack near the swamp - land made of mud - pile brick Ma - rie stirred her witch’s brew         [Chorus] (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau) She’s the Witch Queen (Ahhh!) ...of New Or - leans       ^    ^    ^     ^     ^    Of New Or - leans              |-----------------------------------|-----------------------|              |-----------------------------------|-----------------------|             D |---------------------------2-p0----|-----0-----------------|             A |-5p-2-5p-2-5p-2-5p-2-5p-2-------5--|--2-----0--2-----0-----|             E |-----------------------------------|--------------3-----0--| [Verse 2] Dime or a nick - el any - one could buy ...voodoo of an - y  kind     She had potions and lo - tions  herbs and tanna leaves Guaranteed to blow your mind   ^     ^ ^ Early one morn - ing into murky swamp dew Vanished Marie with hate in her eye         Though she’ll never re - turn all the Cajuns knew A Witch Queen never dies       [Chorus] (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau) She’s the Witch Queen (Ahhh!) ...of New Or - leans       ^    ^    ^     ^     ^      Of New Or - leans               B|-------0----------------|--------------------|               G|--0-h2----0-2----0------|--------------------|               D|---------------2---0----|----0---------------|               A|------------------------|--2----0-2----0-----|               E|------------------------|------------3---0---| [Chorus] (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau)  She’ll put a spell on you (Marie Marie La- ’Voo - doo’ -veau) She’s the Witch Queen (Ahhh!) ...of New Or - leans  ^    ^    ^     ^     ^
