How to play Parklands: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Parklands by Andreas Mattsson on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Parklands by Andreas Mattsson is built around G major (one sharp: F♯), with 4 chords in all: G, C, D and Am7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – G – C – D (IV – I – IV – V in G major). In solfa, that is fah – doh – fah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

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