John Mayer Performing Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child”
John Mayer Performing Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Child” for his 2010 Battle Studies Tour.
To every guitarist who said Mayer is not blues enough or just regular mainstream pop guitarist! You just jealous!
Lyrics:
Well, I’m standing next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I’m standing next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Pick up all the pieces, make an island
Might even raise a little sand
‘Cause I’m a voodoo child yeah
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child
I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you one of these days
I didn’t mean to take up all your sweet time
Give it right back to you the rest of my days
I won’t see you again in this world
See you in the next one, don’t be late
Don’t be late
‘Cause I’m a voodoo child yeah
Lord knows I’m a voodoo child
Songwriters: Jimi Hendrix
