Some Kinda Voodoo Chile

An original song in celebration of Jimi... play it loud enough for him to hear! :-)

Some Kinda Voodoo Chile

Well the wind dropped just for a moment, the whole scene went kinda still
The guy on the sidewalk picking pockets turned and looked at me and whispered “what the hell you doing man?”
I looked blank and showed him the palms of my hands, nothing up my sleeves...
He said "there’s something different ‘bout you...
You some kinda voodoo chile?
You some kinda voodoo chile?"
And then he ran just as the storm kicked in…

Well the birds were blotting out the sky with amazing patterns ‘gainst the darkening clouds
Everyone stopped to watch, I cried aloud “Lord, my train is coming“ and as the engine thundered in, the birds dropped out of the sky
And the porter said "there’s something different ‘bout you...
You some kinda voodoo chile?
You some kinda voodoo chile?"
And then they all flew just as the storm kicked in…

You some kinda voodoo chile?
You some kinda voodoo chile?

I was wandering through the desert with a girl I had just met
When the lightning hit a joshua tree ‘bout three feet to my left
I kept on singing my love song, pretended I hadn’t heard
But a voice came out of the dark clouds above and rumbled "there’s something different ‘bout you
You some kinda voodoo chile?
You some kinda voodoo chile?
You some kinda..."

(And so we ran just as the storm kicked in…)
