How to play Dollar: key, chords and progression
Dollar by GRAHAM sits in A minor (no sharps or flats), and you need 4 chords to play it: Am, F, C and G.
The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – F – C – G (i – VI – III – VII in A minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
