How to play Tangerine: key, chords and progression
These are Tangerine chords by Dean Martin on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
Tangerine by Dean Martin is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 19 chords: B7, Em7, A7, Db7, Dmaj7sus2, Dmaj7, Ab7, G7, Gbm7, Bm7, D7 and Gb7 and 7 more.
Listen for B7 – Em7 – A7 – Dmaj7 (VI7 – ii7 – V7 – Imaj7 in D major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is lah – reh – soh – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Good to know: Db7, Ab7, Gbm7, Bm7 and Gb7 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.
