How to play Until I Bleed Out: key, chords and progression

Until I Bleed Out by The Weeknd is built around C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭), with 4 chords in all: Ab, Gm, Cm and Bb.

The backbone of the song is Ab – Gm – Cm – Gm (VI – v – i – v in C 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 F, Em, Am, G (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
