How to play Truly Madly Deeply: key, chords and progression

Truly Madly Deeply by Yoke Lore is in the key of C minor (three flats: B♭, E♭, A♭). The song uses 4 chords: Cm, Bb, Ab and Eb.

The backbone of the song is Cm – Bb – Ab – Bb (i – VII – VI – VII in C minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 1st fret and play the shapes Bm, A, G, D (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
