Em C G F#

I was playing
     Em
it cool
Then right out of
    C
the blue
Got me doin things
   G    F#
I never do
Guess your playing
Em
old-school
Opening up old
      C
old wounds
Got me in your
palm,
  G     F#
my every move
So
    Em C
Who knew
Knew that you
    G
still
would play with
     F#
dolls?
    Em   C
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
 G       F#
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.
