How to play Paalam Mahal: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Paalam Mahal by Zild Benitez on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Paalam Mahal by Zild Benitez is built around B minor (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 20 chords in all: A, G#sus4, G#, C#m7, F#7, Bm, E, F#m, F#, G#m7, Bm7 and Dm and 8 more.

The backbone of the song is A – G#sus4 – G# – C#m7 (VII – VIsus4 – VI – ii7 in B minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: G#sus4, G#, C#m7, F#7 and Bm are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
