How to play Piano: key, chords and progression

Piano by Alan Walker feat. A$ap Rocky sits in G minor (two flats: B♭, E♭), and you need 3 chords to play it: Eb, D and Gm.

The backbone of the song is Eb – D – Gm – Eb (VI – V – i – VI in G minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes C, B, Em (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 33% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
