How to play From The Gut: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for From The Gut by Hüsker Dü on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

From The Gut by Hüsker Dü keeps coming home to G major (one sharp: F♯). You need 10 chords: E, C, B, A, G, D, Db, Ab, F and Bb.

The backbone of the song is E – C – B – A (VI – IV – III – II in G major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – mi – reh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: B, Db, Ab, F and Bb are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
