Am          E          Am         E
Down at the station at one in the morning
          Am           E            C          E
There's a trainload of strangers that just hit town
Am        E           Am        E
One has a top hat and one has a falcon
      Am                G                      C   E  Am
And although they just arrived they know their way a—round

Verse 2:
Am       E            Am          E
Out to a house at the edge of the town
                 Am          E          C        E
They're bringing Thunderbird wine and a pound of hash
Am      E             Am         E
C'mon along if you're one of the people
              Am            G                  C  E   Am
Because we're gonna get the spirit down at the Hoodoo Bash

Chorus 1:
A               Ab
All the wizards from the south
G                       E
Came up special for the big turnout
C               F
Golden Blossom, Singing Bear
        E                              E7
They're going to have a party and they just don't care

Verse 3:
Am          E           Am            E
Fasten your seat belts, let down your hair
        Am              E               Am      E
Because tonight is the night we've been waiting for
Am        E           Am      E
People in trances and African dances
  Am            G                  C   E    Am
Another kind of life is waiting behind that door

Verse 4:
Am          E             Am         E
We got supplies that will last for a week
               Am          E          Am    E
So there ain't nothing can stop us until we crash
Am           E             Am            E
When we have kids, we will tell them the story
          Am               G             C  E   Am
'Bout the night we got the spirit at the Hoodoo Bash

Chorus 2:
A                    Ab
Magic mushrooms from Singing Bear
G                      E
Indian visions that'll curl your hair
    C               F
And Golden Blossom said she'd make
    E                  E7
Her dandelion wine and morning glory cake

Verse 5:
Am            E                   Am          E
Tell all your friends that you're gone out of town
           Am         E           Am      E
And be prepared to go out of your natural mind
Am          E             Am          E
We're gonna rise when the sun's going down
         Am               G                C         E      Am
When the spirit starts to hit you'll never know what you'll find

Verse 6:
Am        E                Am          E
If you're afraid, then you better stay home
               Am         E             Am       E
'Cause there's no turning back once the dice are cast
Am         E              Am          E
Lovers and strangers will all go thru changes
          Am                G                  C  E   Am
When they get the good, old spirit down at the Hoodoo Bash.
