How to play Stranger: key, chords and progression

Stranger by Spence Bare sits in D minor (one flat: B♭), and you need 8 chords to play it: Dm, A, E, Gm6, Eb, Bb, Gm and A7.

Listen for Gm6 – A – Dm – Eb (iv6 – V – i – ♭II in D 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, Gm6, Eb, Bb and Gm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
