Dm
I’m tryna blow bubbles
       F
 but inside
Bb
Can’t seem to fix my mood

Today it’s as dark
as my roots

Now all of my oceans

have riptides

Can’t seem to find
 what’s wrong

The whole world is

 2000s seem so far away?

How to play Mood Ring: key, chords and progression

Mood Ring by Lorde is written in D minor (one flat: B♭) and moves through 4 chords: Dm, F, Bb and C.

The backbone of the song is C – Dm – F – Bb (VII – i – III – VI 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 3rd fret and play the shapes Bm, D, G, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
