Album: Destination Anywhere

Queen Of New Orleans

JON BON JOVI-Queen of New OrleansTabbed by Cameron McNeill: rmcn@eisa.net.au
I haven't seen this song tabbed yet, so I decided to do it.
I don't know if it's popular in the U.S, but they play it on the radio
all the time here in Australia.
I play most of the chords as power chords, but it sounds fine if you
play open chords as well...it's up to you.Standard tuning
*=step on your wah-wah if you've got oneIntro/Main riff/Verse: * *

Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans
D A B G
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans
D A B G
Oh, oh, shala-lala nothing's what it seems in New OrleansD A C
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.
