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.

Em7I'm gonna tell you a story, strange as it now seems,
Of ZEm7ombie voodoo gris - gris, and the Witch Queen of NA7ew Or - leEm7ans,
She lEm7ived in a world of magic, possessed by the Devil's skew,
From a sEm7hack, near the swampland, made of mud - pile brick,
Ma - Em7rie stirred her wiA7tch's Em7brew!
(MEm7arie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau) She'll put a Asus2spell on Em7you!
(Em7Marie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau) She'll put a Asus2spell on Em7you!
(Em7Marie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau)
She's the WAm7itch Queen...(AB7hhh!)...of New Or - lEm7eans,
Of New Or - lEm7eans!

Em7Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy...voodoo of any kind,
She had poEm7tions & lotions, herbs & tanna leaves, guarantA7eed to bloEm7w your mind,
EEm7arly one morning, into murky swamp dew, vanished Marie with hate in her eye,
Though she'll nEm7ever return, all the Cajuns knew, a Witch Queen nA7ever dEm7ies!
(MEm7arie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau) She'll put a Asus2spell on Em7you!
(Em7Marie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau) She'll put a Asus2spell on Em7you!
(Em7Marie, Marie La- 'Voodoo' -veau)
She's the WAm7itch Queen...(AB7hhh!)...of New Or - lEm7eans,
Of New Or - lEm7eans!
