How to play Evil: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Evil by Steve Miller Band on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
Evil by Steve Miller Band is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 3 chords: Am, E and C.
Listen for E – Am – E – C (V – i – V – III in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
