How to play Saving Your Soul: key, chords and progression

Saving Your Soul by David Kushner sits in G minor (two flats: B♭, E♭), and you need 8 chords to play it: Gm, Eb/G, Bb/F, Gm/Eb, Eb, Gm/D, D and Gm/C.

Listen for Gm/D – D – Gm – Eb/G (i – V – i – VI in G minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, B (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 25% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
