Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Oh, oh, shala-lala nothing's what it seems in New Orleans

Oh, oh, it was almost like a dream

Solo: I think it has a backwards effect like R.E.M's "what's the frequency,

Kenneth?",

and so it's pretty hard to work out.

Here's what you play over the solo anyway:

Last chorus: The last chorus of this song is interesting...

there's a key change...something you don't see that often.

All it means though is that you move all the chords up 2 frets.

Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans

Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans

Oh, oh, shala-lala nothing's what it seems in New Orleans

FADE OUT
