Bad Idea
Bad Idea by Shiloh Dynasty keeps coming home to G minor (two flats: B♭, E♭). You need 7 chords: Cm, F, Bb, Gm, B, G and D.
The backbone of the song is Cm – F – Bb – Gm (iv – VII – III – i in G minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes Am, D, G, Em, Ab, E, B (71% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 29% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
