How to play Peppermint: key, chords and progression
Peppermint by Jack Stauber is built around D♭ major (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭), with 3 chords in all: Ab, Bbm and Db.
The progression the song keeps returning to is Ab – Bbm – Ab – Db (V – vi – V – I in D♭ major). In solfa, that is soh – lah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes G, Am, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
