How to play We Need Love: key, chords and progression

The backbone of the song is Dm – Am – Bb – Gm (i – v – VI – iv in D minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Am, Em, F, Dm (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
