Do Wacka Do Chords
by Roger Miller
Do Wacka Do by Roger Miller is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of E. It uses the chords E, A and B7. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Tabbed this myself by ear after cracking up at the episode of Raising Hope that I heard
it on. Hilariously fun tune to sing and play. The "Root, doot, doot, doot, doot, do-doo,
doo" part might not be 100% accurate, but this is the best I've got. Enjoy.
Legend:
p = Pull-off
/ = Slide up
b = Bend
