How to play Bob: key, chords and progression

This is the chords of Bob by Frank Turner on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Bob by Frank Turner is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 7 chords in all: G, C, D, Em, B7, Cm and F.

Listen for G – F – C – D (I – ♭VII – IV – V in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, Cm and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
