What is the chord progression for the verse and chorus?

[ajtleitmotif]

@jjavelar It depends on the key. The Cure have recorded and released at least two versions of the song which are in different keys.

The key I do it in is DbMAJ, which is different to either of The Cure's originals.

The chords are:

DbMAJ, Fmi, AbMAJ, AbMAJ

Bbmi, AbMAJ, Bbmi, AbMAJ, Bbmi, AbMAJ, GbMAJ, GbMAJ

In a DMAJ key (more appropriate to normal guitar tuning):

DMAJ, F#mi, AMAJ, AMAJ

Bmi, AMAJ, Bmi, AMAJ, Bmi, AMAJ, GMAJ, GMAJ

Simple, huh?

Thanks for commenting.

Im actually surprised. Usually guys doing covers like this suck but he's pretty good. I like his voice. If he had a studio he'd rock.

[ajtleitmotif]

Thank you for commenting.

For the record, I *do* have a studio. Listen to my original, studio-recorded works at the website listed on my Channel.

Thanks again.

This is my favourite song from the Join the Dots box set. I love your version. And I love the pink/purple hair, too! :-) You're like the illicit offspring of Robert Smith and Marc Bolan (both of whom are/were gods IMO) :-)
