How to play Somebody Else: key, chords and progression

To play Somebody Else by Walking On Cars, think in D minor (one flat: B♭). It takes 7 chords: Bb, Dm, F, Cadd9/G, C, Cadd9 and Am.

The backbone of the song is Dm – F – C – Bb (i – III – VII – VI in D minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: Bb and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
