So long, Jimmy, so long.
Am            C
Though you only stayed a moment,
F
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
c               Em
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Am           C
Sure we're glad for the experience,
D
We miss you now you've gone.
F
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
G
We all wish we wrote this song.
Am
Life goes on.

REPEAT AS BEFORE
I'm just so relieved that it's over.
We were hanging out going nowhere,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you burn that bridge yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?
CORUS
INSTRUMENTAL REPEAT about 40 times or until fadeout

No Picture Phillip Wanna Be	#1 by Phillip Doucette at Sep 28, 2007 at 12:22 AM EST
	Considering Jimmy is a nickname for James, I thought this could be about the singer losing a piece of himself.

No Picture shawna Badass	#2 by shawna lykins at Sep 28, 2007 at 11:05 AM EST
	mmmm loved waking up to this song every day at glastonbury

No Picture Craig Average	#3 by Craig Brotschi at Sep 28, 2007 at 6:35 PM EST
	in the cd cover it says written by Jimmy Blunt so it looks like he wants to be even more like Jim Morrison, taking his name

No Picture Zack Average	#4 by Zack Tredway at Sep 28, 2007 at 8:51 PM EST
	hey does anyone no how to play the beginning part of this song on the guitar. jw

No Picture Stuart Average	#5 by Stuart Barker at Sep 29, 2007 at 3:37 AM EST
	The moment i saw th lyrics to this song, i was almost positive it was Jim Morrison, heres why; 1. The song refers to voodoo magic, Jim Morrison was considered a pagan by some 2. The song refers to fire, one of the door most famous songs is "light my Fire" 3. The name is spelt Jimmy, not jimi 4. and James Blunt looks almost exactly like Jim Morrison, well at least his siloutte does on the CD cover.

	I heard that when James was in Iraq the uk and us forces were doing a joint op to take down some iraqis's and james was teamed up with a giant frm san Francisco...........Yeah!

No Picture Andy Average	#10 by Andy Яowley at Sep 30, 2007 at 10:53 PM EST
	Voodoo Magic, Experience, Fire- Jimmy Hendrix

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#11 by Aaron Frederick at Oct 1, 2007 at 4:41 AM EST
	I love this song!!!!!! It's great.

No Picture Jos� Wanna Be	#12 by Jos� Fraz�o at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:33 AM EST
	actually its about both, Jimi hendrix and Jim Morrison. he's a fan of both.

No Picture Claus Average	#13 by Claus Kronmueller at Oct 1, 2007 at 7:11 AM EST
	How do you know he was even in Iraq at all? He was most definatly in Kosovo. Any way, I think this is about Jim Morrison, like Goneooc said (about 4 from the top) if you listen to the last part you hear Riders on the Storm. How much more proof do you need?

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#14 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Oct 2, 2007 at 2:43 AM EST
	i hav no idea how 2 wrk this song out, i jus kno that it is a gr8 song =0D

No Picture Timmibob Average	#15 by Timmibob The Great at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:57 AM EST
	i recon the song is about Jimi Hendrix or possibly himself as 1 of his nicknames is jimi. Fantastic song though. I love it and it is 1 of my favourites

No Picture chris Lead Player	#16 by chris oshell at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:32 AM EST
	I did'nt say James was serving with the military in Iraq. He was in Iraq to smoke some penises. He teamed up with the giant from san farancisco to go tag team on some Iraqi man holes.

No Picture matt Badass	#17 by matt sears, Just Like The Store at Oct 3, 2007 at 12:50 PM EST
	No because James served in Kosovo and not Iraq.

No Picture bob Average	#18 by bob polein at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:10 PM EST
	Could it be a refrence to St.Jimmy on greendays american idiot album? "Do you seem real but I seem fake?" could be the characters messed up head?

No Picture Maverick Average	#19 by Maverick at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:41 PM EST
	gr8 song x x

No Picture LoKe Wanna Be	#20 by LoKe at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:24 PM EST
	people.....it's about Jimi Hendrix. "fire" is a song of his. as well...jimi is well known for lighting his guitar on fire, and kneeling at it. Now, I never heard the song. but if the riff is close to riders on the storm...then that's genius...incorportaing morrison music and jimi lyrics 1 2 Next

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#21 by Chris Simmons at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:28 PM EST
	to me this song is about Jimi Hendrix...I mean look at the lyrics: "Or did the voodoo magic help?"-Voodoo Child people and "Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?" the thing jimi did with the fire... I really think it is about jimi hendrix and its very cool because I LOVE HENDRIX and i think the fact that james blunt like him too is very very cool!!!

No Picture JAY Average	#22 by JAY at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:52 PM EST
	5. The song has a distinctive organ, listen to the Doors, almost all of their songs have the exact same sound 6. At the end of the song "Riders On the Storm" can undeniably be heard. This song was one of the last Doors songs to be released before Jimmy's death, and appropriate to a song about his passing THE LIZARD KING @!!!!!

No Picture Trent Average	#23 by Trent Zelasney at Oct 4, 2007 at 4:11 AM EST
	Not Jimi Hendrix, but Jim Morrison, like Eloise said. Listen to the last 20 seconds and you'll hear Riders on the Storm... Voodoo magic charm -> mojo -> Mr. Mojo Risin' (anagram from LA Woman). And, if it was about jimi hendrix, why wouldnt it be jimi instead of jimmy...?

No Picture Martin Lead Player	#24 by Martin Endara at Oct 5, 2007 at 11:59 PM EST
	actually its about both, Jimi hendrix and Jim Morrison. he's a fan of both. the lyrics were about when he was going abroad and "leaving" them behind. could be a metaphor for when he went to kosovo and was separted from friends and family

No Picture Angus Rhythm Player	#25 by Angus Young at Oct 6, 2007 at 11:04 PM EST
	hmm why does he say 'I'm just so relieved that it's over.' ? i've been wondering about that. love this song.
