How to play Season Of The Witch: key, chords and progression

Season Of The Witch by Lana Del Rey keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 3 chords: A7, D7 and E7.

The backbone of the song is A7 – D7 – E7 – A7 (I7 – IV7 – V7 – I7 in A major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
