Knock my chest

Emptiness

My body’s falling down

My body crashes the ground

How to play Alone: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Alone by Melancholia on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Alone by Melancholia keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 7 chords: C, Em, Am, G, Emptiness, G7 and F.

Listen for C – Em – Am – G (I – iii – vi – V in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: almost every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
