About Damn Time’s chords, progressions, and TAB
Lizzo‘s biggest hit, About Damn Time has some very clever chords and progressions.
For example, Ab and Bb11 are the same for a guitar player as we only play the upper part of the chord.
The same goes for Bbm and Gmaj7, it’s the bass that makes the chords feel different. Another tune that does this well is Rock Your Body (Justin Timberlake)
