Trap doors, you're toying with me
                       D    
Dance halls, another cadence

How to play Aperture: key, chords and progression

These are Aperture chords by Harry Styles for Piano and Ukulele.

Aperture by Harry Styles is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 3 chords: D, A and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – A – Em – D (I – V – ii – I in D major). In solfa, that is doh – soh – reh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: every chord here is an open shape on guitar: no capo, no barre chords needed.
