G
 I am held captive by

when you’re faced with
       Bm
something sharp

How to play Beautiful Boy: key, chords and progression

Beautiful Boy by The Last Dinner Party keeps coming home to B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). You need 7 chords: Bm, Em, G, F#m, D, A and A7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – Bm – F#m – A (III – i – v – VII in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Bm and F#m need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
