Words by Boyzone (originally by Bee Gees) is a timeless pop ballad in G major with no capo required. The song uses simple chords — G, A, D, C, Bb, and F — but the B♭ to F movement gives it a distinctive pop flavour. It's a classic song for practising chord transitions in both major and relative minor contexts.

Guitar & Piano Playing Tips
The B♭ chord is the trickiest here — it's a barre chord at the 1st fret (x13331). If you find it difficult, try a Bbmaj7 (x10030) as a simpler alternative while you build barre chord strength. The G–A–D movement in the verse is a great study in secondary dominants. On piano, this song sits beautifully in the middle octave with a gentle ballad accompaniment pattern in the left hand.
