Voodoo Tabs


Guitar Tabs

Transcribed by Jason Kenny (fad2blck@ma.ultranet.com)

OK, I've figured out how to do this song in straight D-tuning and Drop-D, but I'm lazy, so I'll tab out the drop-D later. I'm proud to say that I'm the first person to tab this song, however easy it may be. By the way, I can almost guarantee that I'm wrong.


Tuned down one step to D.

  Low to high: D G C F A D

Use one of the pickups more towards the neck of the guitar.

Bass Tabs

Transcribed by Jen (AndyMac398@aol.com)

I know this tab is wrong, i've watched Robbie play it 40 zillion times on RRTV, but I can't figure it out. It works for me, and it sounds good too, so if you really are desperate for Voodoo (or even if you're not) use this.


Low to high-D A D G

Verse and most of song

D-3-x-3-3---------------4-|
A----------------4-3-4-3--|
D---------3h4-5-4---------|
G-------------------------|

Chorus- this is not actually what Robbie plays. this is mimiking Tony's guitarlines


D-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3/5-5-5-5-4-5-4-5
A----------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------
