How to play 82Nd All The Way: key, chords and progression

82Nd All The Way by Sabaton keeps coming home to C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). You need 10 chords: Cm, Eb, Bb, G, Am, F, C, Dm, E and Ab.

Most of the song cycles through Cm – Ab – Eb – Bb (i – VI – III – VII in C minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Cm, Eb, Bb, F and Ab are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
