Last Night In The City by Duran Duran feat. Kiesza
Last Night In The City
Tuning: Standard
This is the second song off of the band’s 2015 album Paper Gods and is pretty straightforward for the most part.
The choruses here mostly follow a version of the famous I–V–vi–IV progression, which is actually the first
Duran Duran song I’ve ever identified as using it. The chorus in Change the Skyline also uses the same chords
with that progression in a different order and key as well.
Intro/Chorus/Middle 8: Dm-F-C-A#
Verses: A-C-F-C-Dm
Substitute an A chord for the A# each second time through the chorus riff. That riff also ends on Dm-F-C in
the transitions to the verses and otherwise, with either just the A chord or the verse riff coming in before
Simon starts the verses.
