Verse 1:
Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love?s so heavy
Gonna make you stagger
Dolly Dagger
She drinks the blood from a jagged edge
Aw, drink up baby
Verse 2:
Been riding broomsticks, since she was fifteen
Blowin? out all the other witches on the scene
She?s got a bullwhip just as long as your life
Her tongue can even scratch the soul out of the devil?s wife
Well, I seen her in action at the Player?s Choice
Turn all the love men into doughnut boys.
Hey red hot mama you better step aside
This chick is gonna turn you to a block of ice
Look Out
Verse 3:
Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love?s so strong
Gonna make you stagger, baby
Dolly Dagger
She drinks the blood from the jagged edge.
Uh, right on, drink up baby
Hey
Verse 4:
Yeah, look at the old burnt out Superman
Tryin? to shoot his dust on the sun
Captain Karma kids
They?re dead on the run
Oh, words of love
Do the ever tough Dolly Brown?
Better get some highway an? clear outta town
Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love?s so heavy
Gonna make you stagger
Dolly Daggger
She ain?t satisfied ?til she gets what she?s after
She drinks the blood from the jagged edge
You better watch out baby
Here comes your master

Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:no capo
This tab is aimed at intermediate-advanced players who wish to play along with the original track and
get a feel for the song's composition and structure. I focused mainly on the rhythm guitar section and
the overall arrangement. Lyrics are included under each section's tabs. I labeled the sections Intro, Chorus,
Verse, etc.
I decided not to tune down half-step so this is in standard (EADGBe) tuning.

"Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen

"Well I've seen her in action at the player's choice
Turning all the love men into doughnut boys

Short solo over Verse - I don't transcribe Hendrix solos because he never plays them the same way twice.
