Battle Scars was released here in Australia a couple of weeks ago and went to the number one spot quickly. It was released in the US yesterday and is already in the iTunes Top 20.

It’s a simple song to play – I’ve put together this Battle Scars guitar lesson to show you how to play it on guitar.

Battle Scars Guitar Chords

The main part of the song is a simple 4 chord progression. It goes:

Fm    | Db    | Ab     | Eb    |

That’s it for most of the song – the verses and chorus.

The bridge chords are a bit different:

| Bbm    | Fm     | Ab     | Eb     |

|Bbm     | Fm     | Eb     | Eb     |

The key with this song is in the arrangement. Whilst the chord progression is simple, Guy and Lupe make the song interesting by the way they arrange the songs – bringing different sounds in and out of the mix as required.
