How to play Cry For Me: key, chords and progression

To play Cry For Me by Camila Cabello, think in A minor (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: Am, G, F and Em.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – G – F – G (i – VII – VI – VII in A minor), a minor “Aeolian” loop common in rock and Afrobeats. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F is played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into it slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
