How to play A Horse Named Cold Air: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for A Horse Named Cold Air by Mitski on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
A Horse Named Cold Air by Mitski is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 4 chords in all: D, F, G and Eb.
The progression the song keeps returning to is G – D – Eb – D (I – V – ♭VI – V in G major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes B, D, E, C (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
