Iko Iko Ukulele tab

	  Iko Iko:The Dixie Cups. 
Hit the top 40 in 1965. 
The song lyrics are partly Creole French & 
the song is allegedly about the Mardi Gras. 
The only music during the whole song is Barbara 
Hawkins beating time with drumsticks on a Coke bottle. 
I added the chords.

My grandma and your grandma 
                    C

                           F
