[Verse] C
Sa classroom may batas F
Bawal lumabas, oh bawal lumabas Am
Pero pag sinabing pag G
Pero pag sinabing pag C
Nag-comply ka na bawal lumabas FAm
Pero may sinah may ginawa pa G
Sa pinagbabawal nila C
Inayos mo F
Yung law ng classroom niyo Am
At sinumbit mo uleh G
Ay pwede na pala ikaw lumabas. CFAmG
How to play Bawal Lumabas: key, chords and progression
This is the chords of Bawal Lumabas by Kim Chiu on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
Bawal Lumabas by Kim Chiu is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 4 chords: C, F, Am and G.
The backbone of the song is C – F – Am – G (I – IV – vi – V in C major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. 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 G, C, Em, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
