I think this is more correct than your other posting. It is in E minor.
Here’s the intro. First, strum some silenced strings in the style Jimi does, than play this three times.
e|————————————————X-X-X-|
B|————————————————X-X-X-|
G|————————————————X-X-X-|
D|–14p12—–12———————14p12—–14-X-X-X-|
A|——-h14——-10–10-12p10———–h14—–X-X-X-|
E|—————————–h12—————-X-X-X-|
Then after playing that 3 times, play this once.

D|–14p12—–12———————14p12—–12-|
A|——-h14——-10–10-12p10———–h14—–|
E|—————————–h12—————-|

G|–14—-14p12——|

He plays this again between chords sometimes too.
After you play that, you go into a simple E minor strumming pattern with mini solos inbetween.
e|————-|
B|————-|
G|————-|
D|–2–2-2–2–|
A|–2–2-2–2–|
E|–0–0-3–0–|
And just repeat that and solo inbetween. A few things he does are:

For the rest, solo in the following scales:
e|————————————–0–2–3–|
B|——————————–0–3———–|

D|—————–0–2————————–|

That’s pretty much it, here’s the lyrcis.
Well I stand up next to a mountain,
Chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Well I stand up next to a mountaion,
Chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Well I pick up all the pieces, make an island,
Might even raise a little sand, yea.
‘Cause I’m a Voodoo Child…
Lord knows I’m a Voodoo Child baby!!
(SOLO)
I’m sorry I had to waste your time,
I swear, I’ll give it right back to ya’ one of these days.
I said I’m sorry I had to waste up all your sweet time,
I swear I’ll give it right back to ya’ one of these days!!
I don’t need you no more in this world,
I’ll meet you in the next one, now don’t be late.
I said I don’t ‘a need you no more in this world,
I’ll meet you in the next one, so don’t be late,
Don’t be late!!
‘Cause I’m a Voodoo Child…
Lord knows I’m a Voodoo Child baby!!
Voodoo Child baby,
I’ll take you to th next one, after,
Just to let you know.
