Report Error

Adele builds a beautiful and moving song over the simplest of chord patterns. First take a simple argeggio figure on A major:

The opening relies on chords missing their thirds (also called open fifths):

Then move the lower most note of the pattern down one step to G# then again to F#, ending finally on a D major chord:

The chords that result are actually: A, C#m, F#m7, D

A C#m F#m7 D

The chorus also has a very standard progression I- V-VI-IV or A, E, F#m, A. Indeed, this is the progression used in the famous Axis of Awesome Four chord video which shows just how many songs are made using this progression!

A E F#m A
