[Verse 1]
C              Em7
I'll be taking flowers to
    F              A
the cemetery of my heart
Dm            G
For all of my lovers, in
    Em                 A
the present and in the dark
Dm        Fm           G
Every anniversary I'll pay
             A
respects and say I'm sorry
Dm             G
For they never stood,
Em              A
chances if they could
    Dm                G
But no one knows what it's
           C
like to be us

Now that all the dust has settled

No one knows what it's

How to play Strangers By Nature: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Strangers By Nature by Adele on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Strangers By Nature by Adele is built around D minor (one flat: B♭), with 13 chords in all: C, Em7, F, A, Dm, G, Em, Fm, E, Am, Cm and G#m and 1 more.

The backbone of the song is A – Dm – G – Em (V – i – IV – ii in D minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: F, Fm, Cm and G#m 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.
