Losing all my vision, religion, I’m holding my tongue

How to play High: key, chords and progression

High by Whethan & Dua Lipa is centred on B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: Bm, Ab and F#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Bm – Ab – F# – Bm (i – VI – V – i in B minor). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Am, F#, E (67% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
