I Put A Spell On You by Jay Hawkins
I Put A Spell On You
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Tuning: E Standard
The reason I did this tab was because no one had put a tab of the original song, just
the CCR version, which is different than Screamin' Jay's.
Also, There is no guitar in the original studio recording in the song, so the music I am
providing is piano arranged for guitar. Also, the notes are written an octave higher,
because the guitar cannot reach the notes the piano plays(unless in alternate tuning).
To get the rhythm accurate, listen to the song for guidance.

From this point on, it just repeats the riffs/chords/notes as listed above, which leads
into this after repeating once:
