[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 Spagnola [E] right there on the western tip
[Am] 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 braided [Am] and he looked ready for [G] war
But he smiled and said, hello [E] mates, I'm your new Bocor
[F] Now he wears more [Am] tattoos than clothes
With a ring on every finger [C] and a [E] pone 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 [C] back
There's a storm up ruin [Am] and that beast is building fast
[Dm] The Bocor said, just wait a [Am] bit and captain keep your [G] course
And he went back to his cabin, [E] but the storm it just got [B] 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
He rushed out and said, we'll need every inch of [G] [C] sail
And a swath of clear blue [Am] sky split the monstrous [D] gale
The wind filled every sail [Am] and tightened every [G] line
As we passed we [Em] saw that [E] storm crash back in behind
[Am] Now he wears more tattoos than clothes
With a ring on every finger [C] and [Em] a pone 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 round the rocky [C] shore
We came around 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 Bocor shouted, never [E] fear, and he ran down to his [Dm] room
We heard [G] howls and moans [A] and a [Am] bang and a 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
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 [B] blue
The man of war burst into [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] pone in his [A] nose
When he starts his chanting, [G] we don't always understand
[C] But we always [Em] listen to him, cause [Am] 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 man
