How to play It Might Be Time: key, chords and progression

It Might Be Time by Tame Impala is in the key of D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 15 chords: Amadd2/D, Gadd2/D, Dmaj7, Cmaj7, Gmaj7, F#m7, D#maj7, C#m7, F#m7add9/G#, Dmaj, C#m7/G# and D#maj and 3 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C#m7 – Cmaj7 – Gmaj7 – F#m7 (vii7 – ♭VIImaj7 – IVmaj7 – iii7 in D major). Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: on guitar, Amadd2/D, Gadd2/D, F#m7, D#maj7 and C#m7 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
