How to play Gramercy Park: key, chords and progression

Gramercy Park by Alicia Keys is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 5 chords in all: G, G/B, Cadd9, F and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – G/B – Cadd9 – G/B (V – V – Iadd9 – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – soh – doh – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: F is the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele it is simpler.
