How to play Without You: key, chords and progression

Without You by Brooks is centred on F minor (four flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭). The song uses 11 chords: Fm, Eb, Db, C, Cm, Ebm, F#m, Em, D, E and C#m.

The backbone of the song is Fm – Eb – Db – Eb (i – VII – VI – VII in F minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, Fm, Eb, Db, Cm and Ebm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
