...If you don't give us a melody, we have no idea.

The obviously most common chord progression would be I-V-I, or D minor (D-F-A), A major (A-C#-E), D minor (D-F-A). But seriously, you can't create a progression without a melody line. Or, if you were intending on taking a progression from here for inspiration on a melody line, there are hundreds more... you need to specify stuff...!

When I write it on finale notepad its going to sound a little wrong becuz im kinda noob at writing sheet music lol and the last 3 measures repeats again. Its a little bit of the melody. Its my first time writing I was self taught. I will rewrite it if u want me to, so it can be more accurate. Yea i know about that xD comment been removed its because I came here and no one would take my request so I did this by myself not knowning what I was getting my self into to lol. Well I would love to play this piece and im working on another piece by ear but I have probably mainly on chords maybe becuz I don't have a solid foundation with piano music.

Hahaha, nobody's else-taught for writing sheet music...!

You have a piano though, right? XP

Unfortunately, I don't have finale on this computer right now, so I'll help you tomorrow... but for now, just go on your piano and test out which chords sound OK...!

Lol I don't mean I was self taught writing sheet music I mean playing piano lol. I looked stuff online to read sheet music xD. Well Im gonna go try and test out some chords thanks for the help. I tried to get the chords and I kept getting frustrated so I used a program but its not that accurate. This is what I got for some of the chords on the left hand not in this order though. (E+G+Bb) (Bb +F+Bb) (C+G+D) (E+G Idk if u would call this a chord or a harmonic interval because it only has 2 notes and D+A and G+Bb) (Bb+Bb) (G+C+G) (Bb+C+G) (D+A+G) (D#+Bb+Bb) (D+F+A) Well Idk what u can do with those but maybe u can help me out xD.

Alright... I've downloaded Finale, so here's my suggestions..

This song is.. very interesting... I can't think of any good chords for it...

Do you have a .mp3 of it...?

And for those chords...

You might want to add a C to the EGBb, to see if it sounds nicer that way...
The C+G+D doesn't really sound like a chord to me...
You might want to add a D into Bb, F, Bb...?
D# + Bb + Bb doesn't sound like a chord either...!

DFA should be the most common one that you use, I guess... Followed by AC#E, and maybe CEG(Bb)/BbDF... I don't really know any more common ones for music like this in D minor...

Basically, all of those chords can be summarized into five, DFA, AC#E(G), CEG(Bb), BbDF(A), and then those strange sounding ones...


This really isn't helping, is it? But firstly, I'd recommend you start with DFA as your first chord, as it sounds sorta like that...

In root position you move a semitone down the second note of the major chord, which is a third. If you have C major, you will move the E to Eb, and there you will have C minor.
