[D] She's got a black cat tooth and a [Bm] mojo bone.
[C#] Anyone [F#m] wouldn't leave her [F#] alone.

[D] Then Marie started mumbling, her [B] fangs started gnashing, [A] her body started trembling and her [Em] eyes started flashing.
[E] And she went, [G#] another [Am] man done gone.
[A] Oh, if you ever get down where the black trees grow and meet a voodoo [E] lady named Marie Laveau.
[D] If [F#m] she ever asks [D] you to make her your wife, man, you better stay with her [A] for the rest of your life.
