How to play The Game Is Over: key, chords and progression

The Game Is Over by Evanescence is centred on D minor (one flat: B♭). The song uses 8 chords: Dm, Eb, C, D, C5, Bb, Gm and Ebm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Dm – C – Eb (VII – i – VII – ♭II in D minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Eb, Bb, Gm and Ebm 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.
