How to play Without You: key, chords and progression

Without You by Tana Mongeau is built around D minor (one flat: B♭), with 4 chords in all: F, Dm, Bb and C.

The backbone of the song is F – Dm – Bb – C (III – i – VI – VII in D 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 D, Bm, G, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
