I may have forgotten some chords and 7ths. 
Sometimes G is a bass note.  


E7

E7        A7             A7b9       A
When the heat stops you sleeping at night 
         A7          E7
And the dead leaves rustle around 
E7       A7       G6      E7
And the calmness keeps you awake 
                G6        E
And you pace around the room 
           A                 G6        E   
That's the zombie in you manifesting itself 
        E
And you cry out loud and nobody can help 
            E
And it's a one way sign to the gates of hell 
            A
And there's no way back 
             Em
No, there's no way back 
C                   G                      D
Ain't no wonder you can't sleep at night 

A    G    E        G      A
You just heard the voodoo call 
        A    G  E           G     A 
So you pace around, do the zombie crawl 
        A       G  E          G      A
And you shuffle around in the prison cell 
           A  G   E     E       G    A    E
Doing the voodoo walk, dancing with yourself 
         C
And you just can't blame 
     G                D    D
The zombie inside of you 
        A G    E     E       G   A
Or the voodoo curse hanging over you 
       A   G   E            G        A
Or the zombie walk, like an old soft shoe 
           A   G   E     E      G      A
Where the voodoo man's talking inside you 
            A   G   E    A   G   E
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk 
A             Em
Ain't no evil spirits round here 
    A                Em
Or zombie people or demons with pointy ears 
C               G             D    D
Ain't no spooks waiting to appear 
          A   G   E     G    A
Doing the voodoo walk 
            A   G   E     G   A
Talking the voodoo talk 
        A  G    E      G    A
Or the voodoo howl 
          A  G    E     A  G   E
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk 

 

solo  E7              A7b9    D       Am


Am
Doing the voodoo walk, voodoo walk 
          Am          Cdim       D7
And the days are like living in hell 
                              Am
You're not well but you just did it to yourself 
     D
You know the look 
         Am                        Am/C
You can tell by that haunted stare 
        D
You're never quite here 
        Am          Am/G# Am/G  Am/F#
You're never quite really there 
         F7
And the cemetery's empty 
          C               D
'Cos the zombies are everywhere 

Chorus 2:
          D   C   A         C      D
Doing the voodoo walk 
             D   C   A         C      D
Talking the voodoo talk 
       D   C   A         C      D
Or the voodoo howl 
           D  C   A       D C   A
Doing the voodoo walk 
           D  C   A       C   D      
Doing the voodoo walk 
           D  C   A       C   D      
Talking the voodoo talk 
           D  C   A       C   D      
Or the voodoo growl 
           D  C   A       D C   A
Doing the voodoo walk
