[Am] [G]
[F] [E] [Am]
He was a nice young sailor lad as green as green could [C] be
When he first chose to join [A] our crew for a life of piracy [B] when a storm nearly capsized [Am] us
He was thrown from the ship
[G] Stranded on his [D] Spagnola [E] right there on the western [B] [Am] tip
When the crew next saw him they could not believe their eyes
[C] There was little left of the [Am] young man that one could recognize
[Dm] His hair was long and [Am] braided and he looked ready for [G] war
But he smiled and said hello [E] mates.
I'm your new [F] Bokoa
Now he wears more [Am] tattoos than clothes
With a ring on every [C] finger and a bone [E] in his [Am] nose
When he starts his chanting, [G] we don't always understand [Am] but we [E] always listen to [Am] him cause he's a voodoo man
The captain said now listen boys.
I think we should turn back
[C] There's a storm a [Am]-brewin and that beast is building fast
[Dm] The boatlord said just wait a [Am] bit and captain keep your [G] course and [Em] he went back to his cabin
[E] But the storm it just got [D] worse
We heard howls [G] and [Am] moans and a bang and a [F] crash
We saw [G] thick black smoke [Am] and a fiery [G] flash
We could smell the lightning [F] and we just stared at his door [E] and when we started to relax
It started [Am] up once more
[A] He [Am] rushed out and said we'll need every inch of [G] [C] sail and a swap of clear blue [Am] skies split the monstrous [D] gale
The wind filled every [E] sail [Am] and tightened every [G] line as we passed we [Em] saw that [E] storm crash back in [Am] behind
Now he wears more tattoos than clothes
With a ring on every finger [Em] and a bone in his [Am] nose
When he starts his chanting [G] we don't always understand [F] but we always [E] listen to [Am] him cause he's a voodoo man
While hunting down a merchant ship all around the rocky [G] shore
[C] We came around [Em] the island [Am] to a massive man of war
[Dm] The captain said now listen [Am] boys
We're about to meet our doom [G] and the boat go shouted [E] never fear and he ran down to his [B] room
We heard [G] howls and moans [Am] and a bang and a crash
We saw [G] thick black smoke [Am] and a fiery flash
[G] We could smell the lightning [F] and we just stared at his door [E] and when we started to relax
It [Am] started up once more
Fire two shots he shouted and they went off right on [G] cue
[C] Both shots found their target [Am] and their powder-holed it [D] blue
The man of war [B] burst in the [Am] flames and it began to pitch [G] and we stole enough from [E] her to make sure we were
Rich, [F] he still wears more [Am] tattoos than clothes
With a ring on every finger [C] and a [Em] bone in his [A] nose
When he starts his chanting [G] we don't try to understand [Em] but we always listen to [Am] him cause he's a voodoo man
We always [E] listen to [Am] him cause he's a voodoo man
We always [E] listen to him cause he's a [Am] voodoo [A] man
