TEXT AND CHORDS


Intro (A7 A7 A7 D9 D9 A7 A7)

E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
Strange brew killing what's inside of you
A7 D9
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
A7 D9
In her own mad mind she's in love with you, with you
A7
Now whatcha gonna do?
E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
Strange brew killing what's inside of you

A7 D9
She's some kind of demon dusting in the flue
A7 D9
If you don't watch out it'll stick to you, to you
A7
What kind of fool are you
E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
Strange brew killing what's inside of you

(repeat intro)

A7 D9
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
A7 D9
She would make a scene for it all to be ignored
A7
And wouldn't you be bored
E7(9+) D7(9+) A7
Strange brew killing what's inside of you


Sorry for the solo. Hope I can add it as soon as possible. Just try some blues
scales and it should be ok.
