EmCGF#
I was playing
Em

Then right out of
C
the blue
Got me doin things
GF#
I never do
Guess your playing
Em
old-school
Opening up old
C
old wounds
Got me in your
palm,
GF#
my every move
So
EmC
Who knew
Knew that you
G
still
would play with
F#
dolls?
EmC
And who knew
G
Knew that you'd be
F#
so involved?
Em
I'm your voodoo
C
Tell me what to do
And stick another
GF#
pin in it
Did you dip it
Em
in gas
And throw on a
C
match?
'Cause all I
ever Do
G
is burn up for
F#
you
Whenever I
Em
wake up with pain
C
in my stomach
Least I know
G
that you're
up late and
F#
thinking of us
Em
I'm your voodoo
Tell me what
C
to do
And stick another
G
pin in it
F#
I'm your voodoo

How to play Voodoo: key, chords and progression
Voodoo by VOILÀ is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 4 chords: Em, C, G and F#.
Listen for Em – C – G – F# (ii – ♭VII – IV – III in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Good to know: F# is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
