How to play Harleys In Hawaii: key, chords and progression

Harleys In Hawaii by Katy Perry is centred on B♭ minor (five flats: B♭, E♭, A♭, D♭, G♭). The song uses 3 chords: Bbm, Fm and Ebm.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Fm – Bbm – Ebm – Bbm (v – i – iv – i in B♭ minor). 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 Am, Em, Dm (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
