That Don’t Impress Me Much Chords: Modal Interchange and Hit Writing Secrets


That Don’t Impress Me Much offers an excellent lesson in modal interchange and hit songwriting. The chords and the intro melody provide a wealth of insight into crafting memorable music.

The secret to writing hit melodies, whether vocal or instrumental, lies in hitting the strong intervals, something that the intro melody does to perfection.

To master that intro, you’ll need TAB, but let’s focus on the chords for now. The verse, which has the same chords as the intro follows a simple progression of VI – IV – I – V in the key of Am, played on repeat like this:

||: Am (VI) F (IV) | C (I) G (V) :||

The bridge is equally straightforward, though it’s in a different key, D. The Roman numerals here are I – V – IV, like this:

||: D (I) A (V) | G (IV) :||

The chorus shifts to the relative major of the verse, which is C major:

||: F (IV) C (I) | G (V) :||

I’ve created a TAB that breaks down the details, along with a look at the modal interchange techniques that helped make That Don’t Impress Me Much a hit.
