Dm                 A#
Another head hangs lowly
F                               C
Child is slowly taken
Dm                               A#
And the violence causes silence

Who are we mistaken?

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
But you see, it’s not me
A#
It’s not my family
F                                              C
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
Dm
With their tanks, and their bombs
A#
And their bombs, and their drones
F                               C
In your head, in your head, they are crying

Heart is taking over

When the violence causes silence
F                               C
We must be mistaken

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
It’s the same old theme
A#
In two thousand eighteen
F                                              C
In your head, in your head, they’re still fighting
Dm
With their tanks, and their bombs
A#
And their guns, and their drones
F                                              C
In your head, in your head, they are dying

[Chorus]
Dm                                              A#
What’s in your head, in your head?
F                Am                C

How to play Zombie: key, chords and progression

Zombie by Bad Wolves is in the key of F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 5 chords: Dm, A#, F, C and Am.

Most of the song cycles through C – Dm – A# – F (V – vi – IV – I in F major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Am, F, C, G, Em (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
