How to play Faded: key, chords and progression

These are Faded chords by Alan Walker on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Faded by Alan Walker is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: Am, F, C and G.

Listen for Am – F – C – G (i – VI – III – VII in A minor), the epic minor progression (i–VI–III–VII) used in many anthems: the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes Em, C, G, D (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
