Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)

How to play Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) by Elton John on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play Am, F, Em, Dm, G, C, the shapes the player above shows.

This is a great beginner-friendly song to learn because the groove stays steady and the harmony repeats in a way that helps you lock into the feel quickly. You get a modern pop pulse that sounds polished fast, so it is satisfying even at a simple level.

The chart uses barre shapes throughout, so you will want to focus on clean fretting and even pressure across the neck. The main change to watch is the opening move from A#m to F# to Fm and back to A#m, since that shift asks your hand to stay relaxed while changing shape smoothly.

Start by practicing the opening progression slowly, making each chord ring clearly before you worry about speed. Then loop the same four-chord cycle until the changes feel automatic, and only after that bring it up toward the full tempo.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
