How to play Bite Me: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Bite Me by Avril Lavigne feat. Travis Barker on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Bite Me by Avril Lavigne feat. Travis Barker sits in C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), and you need 5 chords to play it: Cm, Ab, Eb, Bb and Bb/D.

The backbone of the song is Cm – Ab – Eb – Bb (i – VI – III – VII in C minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Bm, G, D, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
