Back to Soprano chords

E7
Well I stand Up Next to a mountain,
  
                                                             A7
And chop it down, with the edge of my hand

E7
Well, I stand up next to a mountain

                                                               A7
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

E7       B7
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island,

A7                             E7
Might even raise just a little sand.

E7          C              D
Cause Im a voodoo child,

D                E7
Lord knows Im a voodoo child!

This pattern repeats throughout the whole song.

Jimi Hendrix was very interested in using distortion and effects to produce a psychedlic, or mind altering effect from his guitar playing. This song was recorded "live in the studio" with later studio effects (panning guitar from left to right) added for texture. Several aspects of Jimi's playing are showcased here, his ease of improvisation, call and response guitar lines, pickup switching, whammy bar dives, wah-wah pedal use, minor pentatonic screams and squacks. Hendrix was a master of sounding like a "guitar army" while being a single person playing.
