  I'm sure that your heart's
 in the right place
F#m                  E

 a puppet show

You're so appealing

We can barely see
            A
your hair receding
         Bm
You're a man of few needs
        D
But the sleep
 thoughts are deep
         F#m
Sound as good with slurred
              A
 speech as I do when I'm sober

How to play Model Buses: key, chords and progression

Model Buses by Lovejoy is centred on B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 7 chords: Bm, D, F#m, E, Em, A and G.

The progression the song keeps returning to is E – Bm – D – F#m (IV – i – III – v in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm and F#m are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
