How to play Born Cold: key, chords and progression

Born Cold by Creeper is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 9 chords: Dm, C, Am, F, G, E5, D5, C5 and B5.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Dm – C – Am – Dm (ii – I – vi – ii in C major). In solfa, that is reh – doh – lah – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and B5 are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
