Chorus
RE LA SI SOL
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans
RE LA SI SOL
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans
RE LA SI SOL
Oh, oh, shala-lala nothing's what it seems in New Orleans
RE LA DO
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.
MI SI DO# LA
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing with the queen of New Orleans
MI SI DO# LA
Oh, oh, shala-lala I was dancing in the streets of New Orleans
MI SI DO# LA
Oh, oh, shala-lala nothing's what it seems in New Orleans
FADE OUT
