Witch Doctor

(Ooo Eee, Ooo Ah Ah, Ting Tang, Walla Walla Bing Bang)

Words & Music:

Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (David Seville)

If you want to be true to the original, you can either shift keys up a 1/2 step where noted or, if you are quick, start with the capo on the first fret, then move it to the second fret (where it goes to the key of Bb) and finally move it to the third fret (where it goes to the key of B). Else, you can stay in A for the whole song.
