How to play Dawn Will Rise: key, chords and progression

Dawn Will Rise by 30 Seconds To Mars keeps coming home to D♭ major (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). You need 7 chords: B, G, A, E, Am, F# and G#.

The backbone of the song is F# – Am – F# – G# (IV – ♭vi – IV – V in D♭ major). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: B, F# and G# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
