[Verse]E
Quiet, crawl to the in-between
G#m
Silent, secretive feeling
Bm
Of fearsome hatred that
A
reaches the skies
[Chorus]Am
You will bring joy to
E
the Nowhere King
F#B7
When he sees the light
E
leaving your eyes
How to play The Nowhere King: key, chords and progression
The Nowhere King by Centaurworld is centred on A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). The song uses 9 chords: E, G#m, Bm, A, Am, F#m, B, B7 and F#.
The progression the song keeps returning to is E – G#m – Bm – A (V – vii – ii – I in A major). In solfa, that is soh – te – reh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, F#m, Am, G, Gm, Em, A, A7, E (78% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 44% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
