"Death Don't Have No Mercy" is composed with words and music by Davis. It features techniques of arrangement and performance from his gospel songs, alongside his style of blues guitar. [20] Davis' guitar accompaniment for the song is a relatively simple chord progression, performed in the key of G-flat major.
Taking the main key of measures 1 to 5 as A-flat major, the chords can be considered as vi–ii–V–I–IV in A-flat major. (Fm7 is the sixth degree in A ♭; B ♭ m7 is second degree in A ♭, etc.) Using a delay cycle, D ♭ being the tritone substitution for G7, the last 3 bars of the A section modulates to the key of C major temporarily.

As it requires huge instrumental and vocal forces it is frequently called the "Symphony of a Thousand", although the work is normally presented with far fewer than a thousand performers and the composer disapproved of the name.

The song itself is in the key of A-flat major, with the intro and outro featuring "intrusions" of B-flat minor. O'Leary refers to the two bridges as a "series of arcs", as Bowie starts low in his register, rising to high and descending back to low in the ...
Notes that are shown as sharp or flat in a key signature will be played that way in every octave—e.g., a key signature with a B ♭ indicates that every B is played as a B ♭. A key signature indicates the prevailing key of the music and eliminates the need to use accidentals for the notes that are always flat or sharp in that key. A key ...
