How to play Roadkill: key, chords and progression
Roadkill by Avery Anna is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: Dm, C, G, F, G/B, Bb, A and D.
The backbone of the song is Dm – C – G – F (ii – I – V – IV in C major). In solfa, that is reh – doh – soh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Good to know: F and Bb are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
