How to play The Dark Side: key, chords and progression

To play The Dark Side by Muse, think in E minor (one sharp: F♯). It takes 7 chords: Em, D, Am, B, C, F# and Cm.

Listen for Em – D – Am – Em (i – VII – iv – i in E minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, B, F# and Cm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
