voodoo
by queen & paul rogers
this is a beautifully simple song , with all the verses consisting of a single
chord ( Am7 . . . listen to the track for timing , etc . ) . if you want , you can
vary by using different voicings/positions of the basic chord . there is A D5
in the intro . the main colour of the piece comes from brian may’s fills ,
licks and solos , which are basic pentatonics . a great one to practice your
blues licks to . at some point i plan to get brian may’s lead guitar tabbed ,
but that could take a while as i’ve never tried to tab before!
the G of the chorus has a tonal variation on the second string :
E – | 3 – – – – – – – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – – – – – – – |
B – | 0 – – – – – – – 3 – – 3 – – 3 – – 0 – – – – – – – |
G – | 0 – – – – – – – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – – 0 – – – – – – – |
D – | 0 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – | ( let the bottom three strings ring throughout )
A – | 2 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
E – | 3 – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – |
Am7
when the moon rises , the dogs will howl
look out of your window , i’ll be on the prowl
i’m not usually a gambling man
but oh , i just wanna hold up my hands and say
A G
i’m taking a chance on your love
A G
woah , i’m taking a chance on your love
Am7
i’m not superstitious and i don’t wear no charm
i don’t carry my heart on the sleeve of my arm
seven years of bad luck , please , don’t worry me
’cause when i look in to the mirror , here’s the future i see
A G
i’m taking a chance on your love
A G
woah , i’m taking a chance on your love
Am7
place your bets , better yet
don’t forget what i said
roll the dice , spin the wheel
always remember , you’ve got to keep it real
i don’t believe in voodoo , black magic was never my style
but i believe that you do , and it won’t take much time
to gather the portions that weave your magic spell , yeah
the moon on the ocean has a secret to tell , but anyway
A G
i’m taking a chance on your love
A G
woah , i’m taking a chance on your love
A G
woah , i’m taking a chance on your love
A
yeah
