Artist: Redbone
Song: Witch queen of New orleans
Tabbed by: DJ
7th Nov 2012

Tuning:Standard
CAPO: 3rd fret (sounds in key of Gm)

A simple version for acoustic guitar

This song about Marie Laveau paints her in an evil light,
but the 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.

Of Zombie voodoo gris - gris, and the Witch Queen of New Or - leans,

Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy...voodoo of any kind,

She had potions & lotions, herbs & tanna leaves, guaranteed to blow your mind,
 Em7                                      
Early one morning, into murky swamp dew, vanished Marie with hate in her eye,
