WITCHY WOMAN B. Leadon & D. Henley Eagles Eagles 1973 This was a very strange song to figure out what to do with. There are at least 3 electrics and 1 acoustic that all play at the same time. But the acoustic is just a reverse-arpeggio thing that you can try to figure out from the chords. All I'm going to provide is one of the electric parts, which will allow you to play the song pretty well as it sounds on the album. Oh yeah, and thanks to Nate Mutti, who sent this to me. It was a great help!

Note on chicka sound Now throughout the entire song there are "chicka" sounds made by an electric guitar. If you listen to song you can't miss them. They are really easy, because there are only a few shapes to them. To figure out what to play, just match the chords up.
