E minor
One-sharp musical key
E minor is a musical key or scale built on the note E, using a pattern that produces a darker, more somber quality than its major counterpart.
It's among the most common keys in rock and folk guitar because the open strings align naturally with the chord.
The song is in E minor.
An E minor chord consists of the notes E, G, and B.
