Pokey plays the rhythm section in D tuning (2 half steps down) with Capo on 2
You can play it without capo in standard tuning as well
He plays the chords very different here and there throughout the song so take everything below as a suggestion
The C#7 is just a C7 one fret higher, D7 two frets, the F is played as a cowboy chord (x3321x)
The G is played as a barree best as it allows you to play those muted hits better, some goes for the A7
Key to get the right vibe in this song is the left hand muting right after the hit

Verse
[F] [C#7] [C7] [F]
Sadie Green was the vamp of New Orleans
[F] [C#7] [C7] [F]
And she had more sweeties than the Navy done had Marines
[D7]
Oh when she starts to shake her hips
[G7]
She'd say "Captain captain, go on and sink your ships now"
[C7]
If she starts to vamp oh gosh
[F] [C7]
Mama burn my mackintosh
[F] [C#7] [C7] [F]
Oh since my gal came to town
[F] [A7]
Yeah she turned every little thing right upside down
[D7]
And she cried, oh boy, full of steam
[G7] [C7]
What she ain't got, she just don't need
[F] [D7]
What a queen Sadie Green
[G7] [C7] [F] [D7]
She was the vamp of New Orleans
[G7] [C7] [F] [C7] [F]
The vamp of New Orleans
