 Take no prisoners for me

I'm told you're elevating
         A               Em
Drinks go straight to my knees

Game called review the player
          A          Em
Time codes and Tokyo scenes

 It's best you know

 We belong together

D          A           Em
 In no good state to receive
                          D
Go forth, ask questions later
          A                    Em
Trap doors, you're toying with me
                       D    
Dance halls, another cadence
 A Em  D A Em

How to play Aperture: key, chords and progression

These are Aperture chords by Harry Styles for Piano and Ukulele.

Aperture by Harry Styles sits in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), and you need 3 chords to play it: D, A and Em.

The backbone of the song is D – A – Em – D (I – V – ii – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
