G5     C5
Yeah!

Possible voodoo magic

A5

possible way

[Verse 2]
E5
Embarrassed they found a knife
C5                 G5
Went back and they found it twice
E5
It's good to know we both get smart
C5                D5
You in your head, me in my heart

How to play Voodoo Magic: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Voodoo Magic by The Front Bottoms on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Voodoo Magic by The Front Bottoms sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 6 chords to play it: G5, C5, A5, D5, B5 and E5.

Listen for A5 – D5 – G5 – C5 (II – V – I – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
