How to play 911: key, chords and progression

911 by Lady Gaga keeps coming home to B♭ major (two flats: B♭, E♭). You need 8 chords: Cm, Bb, Eb, F/A, Gm, Gm/A, Dm7 and F.

Listen for Eb – Cm – Bb – F/A (IV – ii – I – V in B♭ major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – reh – doh – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Am, G, C, D, Em, Bm7 (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 17% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
