How to play Colors: key, chords and progression

To play Colors by Jason Derulo, think in E♭ major (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). It takes 5 chords: Cm, Bb, G#, D# and C#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Cm – Bb – G# – D# (vi – V – IV – I in E♭ major). In solfa, that is lah – soh – fah – 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 Bm, A, G, D, C (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
