How to play Sibling Rivalry: key, chords and progression

Sibling Rivalry by PUP is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 9 chords in all: D, Bm, F#m, G, D/Db, A, A#m, A# and Gm.

The backbone of the song is D – F#m – Bm – F#m (I – iii – vi – iii in D major). In solfa, that is doh – mi – lah – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

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