How to play You’re Awesome: key, chords and progression

These are You’re Awesome chords by Bryan Adams on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

You’re Awesome by Bryan Adams is built around B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 8 chords in all: Bm, D, A, G, E, D/F#, Em and F#.

The backbone of the song is Bm – D – A – G (i – III – VII – VI in B minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bm and F# 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.
